Ashley Street Playground is a medium sized playground more suited to locals to the area. I probably wouldn’t drive too far to specifically go to this park, but if you live in the Western suburbs it’s a nice option for a playdate for something different.
The playground area is fully fenced which is great, and there are also enough bench seats to go around. It’s really annoying when a playground only has one bench seat for all the Mums and Dads to squish on 🙂 The equipment includes a spiral slide, monkey bars, climbing wall and ropes, swings and a liberty swing.
What we liked about this playground
- Really nicely shaded with a big shade sail stretching over the whole thing
- Fully fenced! Yay no run aways
- Clean and tidy
- BBQ was right next door and nice and clean
- Tennis courts right next to it
- Liberty Swing
- Clean and tidy
What we thought could be better
- The toilets were a bit dim.
- Not very grassy, if you want to watch the kids playing you have to sit on one of the bench seats or on the rubber floor
- Street parking is available, but there’s not a lot of it. You might have to park a fair way down the road if there are lots of people at the park that day.
- No shops nearby that I could see, so definitely grab a coffee from your local on the way there!

On the corner of Rogers Terrace and Robert St in Maitland there is a great combination playground. It boasts both the typical metal/plastic style playground with a large wooden climbing section. There is a spinning ride (although beware after rain as it fills with water), swings, a big slide, a digger and climbing equipment. It is surrounded by fence for most of the playground with just a small gap for entering (not secure). It has a car park, shaded seating, a free bbq, a double cricket pitch and it's just a short walk to nearby toilets.Fun for the whole family!

It's a beautiful playground in such a quiet area. There is little traffic passing by and its enclosed. The playground is in good repair, clean and lots of fun for a range of ages. There is a bbq area with plenty of undercover seating, rubbish bins and a public toilet. The carpark is off the road and has plenty of space and there's even a wetlands walking track. Whilst there we noticed that previous families had taken chalk and done drawing on the brick pathways so that's another idea for keeping the children entertained. There is also a grassy area for ball play. It's definitely somewhere I'll be taking my family for a picnic in the future.

Yorketown Playground is absolutely massive and there is something for everyone. When you arrive you'll notice there's plenty of parking, there's an information booth for the area and some unique art around the place. Once you've parked you'll see a large playground area, a toilet block, a bbq with a shaded seating area and a short walk away, a big lake. We decided to check out the lake first and on our walk down there, discovered nature play spaces for climbing and exploring as well as many little creatures for children to take delight in. The lake is beautiful and there are walking paths you can take. Once back at the playground you will discover a Loch Ness Monster, flower photo booth, challenging play equipment for all ages and a stunning artwork of 2 rosellas. We stayed and played for well over an hour as it's perfect for kids and big kids (if you get my drift ;-))
