Following community consultation, we've developed and endorsed a Master Plan for Maitland Park. The plan focuses on increased play, including water play, more recreational opportunities, improved parking and pathway connections, improved accessibility and shade, and creating a vibrant civic space.
While currently unfunded, we will continue to seek funding opportunities for the staged delivery of these projects, with timelines to be determined once funding is secured. We have also made progress on some works already, with a new car park now open for use at the heart of Maitland Park and a spacious open lawn area set to open late 2025.

Key changes
The design considers the existing and future needs for passive and active recreation in the park and some of the key changes include:
- Traffic flow changes, with the main gate being entry only
- Bus/coach bay and taxi rank located near the aquatic centre
- Increased car parking throughout
- New passive open space and car park replacing the bowling club
- Improved pedestrian access throughout the park
- Upgrade of the Maitland Park Playspace
- Provision of additional fitness station
- Removal of two existing small playspaces located near Devonshire Street and a future playspace to be built near the netball courts
- Enclosed cricket net training facility
- Retention and restoration of heritage monuments throughout the park
- Expansion of the outer field amenities
Proposed traffic flow improvements within the Maitland Park precinct.
