Nice park with mature grown trees tucked between the old Maitland Gaol and the train line. Nice place to watch the wildlife and passing trains. Plenty of parking available.

Lovely small park opposite jail and railway line. Picnic tables and shade over playground coming soon. Toilets at tourist info across road if timed correctly. Great playground for all ages.

I love this park. It's spacious and fun for all ages. Just disgusting whomever decided to take a permanent marker to the equiptment. Hopefully some will know of the 'Blayney and Emz' that done this, and get them back here to clean this rubbish attempt at street art off..
