As well as lovely, relaxed grass, sandstone, and seating areas to enjoy picnic while littles play.
Great effort by Maitland Council. 5 drive-through RV sites on hard gravel, plenty parking & potable water. Dump point at information office nearby. Great playground, skate park, basketball court, bmx track and toilets.
Huge park. Lots of things to do for kids ages 2 and up. It needs more slides and things to do for little kids and all the slides are way up high and very hard for one parent to manage the kid alone. They could add a small slide and climber or bridge or little new walkers. Toilets don't have a baby change table which is disappointing looking at how busy the park gets. Skate park is a hit. They could add some scooters to rent around the park.
This is a fantastic community precinct. I am reviewing the overnight RV stop which is in the car park. There are 5 spots to stay so you need to be in early. There is no cost. The toilets are really clean and new however they close at 5:30pm due to vandalism in the past and the location to a skate park. The sites are level and lined with concrete and stone and is an overnight stay only. There are playgrounds, skate park, dirt track for bikes and radio controlled vehicles.
Not sure who keeps putting these nets up cos it’s not the council themselves. This local altruist must be out of pocket somewhere around say, $150 by now… In all seriousness, the Council spent a few million on this very nice facility & I do appreciate my taxes going towards this however a basketball court without nets is not basketball. I’ve seen them replace the nearby shrubbery & not the nets. Irony being that the shrubbery would get trampled less often with a net up because it directs the ball away.
