HAROLD GREGSON PARK

Public BBQ

This sprawling community precinct represents Maitland Council's ambitious vision for modern family recreation. The centrepiece playground features towering slide structures that challenge older children, though parents of toddlers might find the elevated equipment requires constant supervision. A distinctive "spinning floor" captivates young visitors, while the surrounding facilities paint a picture of comprehensive family entertainment. The barbecue areas integrate seamlessly with basketball courts, a skate park, and BMX track, creating multiple activity zones for different age groups. Clean, modern toilets service the busy precinct, though they close at 5:30pm. Ample parking accommodates both day visitors and the five designated RV spots that fill quickly with travellers seeking the free overnight accommodation. The facility shines as a dog-friendly destination, with secure areas for pets to exercise safely. While some visitors note the playground equipment favours older children over toddlers, the sheer scale and variety of activities make this a standout regional destination for active families seeking a full day of outdoor entertainment.
