Not sure what the comment saying no swings is about. This playground is awesome. The slide is huge BUT they have since added ladder steps. My 5 year old has been able to climb up it since they first built it with help but the step allows her to go alone too. There are swings, 3 in total. The only gripe I have is that the smaller playground at the front could/should be shaded with a sail or cover. Great park otherwise!!

🪩🛼Maitland Roller Disco 🪩 🛼sponsored by Maitland City Council ~ 8 November 25, 🪴Harold Gregson Park was a great location for such an event. 🛼The evening was well attended, great grounds, awesome tunes, safe, and an excellent event for all ages. 🪴Park grounds well maintained, as where amenities lovely and clean, attendant walking grounds to maintain during event. ✨Thank you for ensuring that everything was cared for, so families could enjoy the evening, it felt safe, and welcoming. 🪴Plenty of parking, great options to skate, play, scoot, or ride. 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.
