Maitland Skatepark

This is the newest of Maitland’s two skateparks (the other being Old Maitland) and is yet another pre-fab basic construction. It starts at one end with a bank of 5.5ft roll-ins (one is a quarter with coping), central banked section and finishes with a 5ft quarter (one with a corner section). So it looks unsurprisingly similar to a lot of skateparks in the area that were all built around the same time.

The surface is pretty good given it’s age and the roll-ins were fast, the coping decent and the cornered quarter almost interesting… a few things that made skating here worth the trip if your passing thru. Once again this is another Hunter Valley skatepark largely dominated by BMX’rs and the odd kiddie on a scooter.

There’s ample parking around and it’s inside a nice big park area with some food nearby. Its also just up the hill from the other Old Maitland skatepark so make sure you check that one out also.
