Maidstone Park
About the Business
Welcome to Maidstone Park, Upper Hutt's most central and versatile park. Located just a short walk from the CBD, Maidstone Park offers a range of attractions and amenities for visitors of all ages.
One of the highlights of Maidstone Park is the Maidstone Max Adventure Playground, a recently refurbished playground that sparks imagination and encourages free play. With a theme inspired by popular culture, this playground features a mix of classic and modern play equipment, including specialist swings and accessible features for users of all abilities. Kids can also enjoy sand play and musical activities in the Bards Compass area.
For thrill-seekers, Maidstone Park offers a downhill mountain bike track that winds through regenerating native and established beech forest. With bermed corners, jumps, and drop-offs, this track provides excitement for intermediate to expert riders, while also offering alternatives for those who prefer a more grounded experience.
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate Maidstone Park's expansive bush area, which includes several steep bush walks between the main park and Kingsley Heights. Please note that these tracks are not recommended for pushchairs, mobility scooters, or wheelchairs.
Sports enthusiasts will find plenty of opportunities at Maidstone Park, including sportsfields, community sport clubrooms, and sand carpet rugby fields. The park also features an enlarged state-of-the-art skate park, perfect for skateboarders and BMX riders.
When it's time to relax and refuel, Maidstone Park offers picnic tables, shade trees, and open spaces for families to enjoy. There are also three free-to-use electric BBQs located within Maidstone Max, making it easy to have a fun-filled day of picnicking and playing.
For breathtaking views of Upper Hutt City and the Hutt Valley, make sure to visit Latimer Lookout, located atop Maidstone Park.
Toilets are conveniently located near the skate bowl and the junior playground, and they are open from dawn until dusk daily.
If you're planning a group event or outing at Maidstone Park, please remember to submit a park booking request at least four weeks in advance. Bookable spaces are limited, and covered BBQ areas are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Come and experience the diverse range of activities and amenities that Maidstone Park has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you to this vibrant and family-friendly destination.

"An awesome park. There is a cool bike and scooter track, a couple of slides, a baby pit, some interactive things and a really good 'big kids' skate section. Bbq facilities and toilets are also there. A little something for everyone here and decent amenities."
"I love this park for my dog and I... Great area to walk my girl . I love the trees, love seeing other dogs and their humans out and also awesome to see so many families enjoying the new park . Look forward to when the sprinklers are on at the field on a hot day, for me and my dog to play in with others . Beautiful nature, even on a wet winters day"
