    This is one of the most beautiful parks in Newcastle. Massive old fig trees offer shade and beauty, rose gardens are always flourishing, gardens are exceptional. Play equipment is good but also fairly close to the road. There is a big old cannon that kids like to climb on. Undercover eating area near playground and toilets nearby. There is also a very big grass space that used to be a bowling green, perfect for running children and dogs :-)

    A versatile, family friendly park in a very convenient location. Plenty of space available for all types of activities, whether youre into yoga on your own, a group exercise class, or you just want to let the kids run free, there is room for everyone and everything. Typical public toilets in good working order. Regularly cleaned and maintained

    We visit here when we travel on the train to Newcastle. There are BBQs, seating, shelter, play equipment and toilets close by. Last time we visited the toilets weren't very clean. Sometimes there are buskers playing instruments which we enjoy. Particularly the man who plays the bag pipes. I particularly like the big old trees. Creating ample shade for summer picnics. I hope they are left to stay and give oxygen and heat relief for many years to come.

    I came here just so I could day "Greg Gregory is at Gregson Park" Can finally tick it off the bucket list This is a great park for kids. Maybe next time I'll bring one with me so I don't look like a lonely man sitting at a park Also the toilets are pretty clean. Pack a lunch because there is no Cafe

    A well designed and kept park with actives for children and areas for dog walking. It's situated in a an area under going tough times. Used syringes were on the ground and someone was shooting up in the toilet

    This is a lovely park. I love spending time with the kid here. The playground could be bigger and a few more play equipment could be displayed. As this playground gets very busy.

    Went to festival with friends and had a good time. Having my said that I’ve been going to the Cannon park sinice I was two , I am now in my early sixties . Good area for walks or children to ride their bikes. Scoop or fly a kite . Short walk to numerous high quality eateries. The council stilll takes an interest in the gardens but not to the extent as when u would go with my mother in the 1960’s

    What an awesome park, the opportunities provided are quite good for a local residential park including a local market for the weekend stroll OR the casual Mordenvale group dressed in historical clothing battling it out- staged. We had the opportunity of viewing this and it was very attractive to watch. There is also children’s parks, tennis county’s, walking trails and grass paddocks to have a picnic on or what your children on the playground equipment.

    It’s a lovely little park in town. The grassy area under the trees is a nice place for quiet and shade. The park is well kept and the toilets are always in good order. I can’t wait to see the improvements the city will make though.

    A large park to wear out the kids, well that's the plan. There are some play equipment, BBQs and a tennis court. Alot of people just relax under a tree, walk the dog, some do tai chi classes, or Akedo, this is a large park, theres plenty of room here.

😐 The walkway around the park is fantastic for a nice bike ride or to take your dogs for a stroll but be weary as there will be many other bikes and dogs on your trail. The kids play equipment is severely outdated, paint is peeling and parts of the equipment are either broken or non functional. It se...
