Largely constructed of wood, the playground is shaped like a pirate ship and features several climbing structures, cubbies, a bridge and a wave slide.
The play area is covered by shade sails and the entire area is fenced (although it doesn't have a safety gate).
Visitor facilities at Newstead Park
There is a drinking tap and a regular tap, picnic tables, nice trees and garden beds, and a beautiful grassy area.

Amenities nearby
Across the road is the Newstead Friendly Grocer/Bakery where you can purchase food/drinks to enjoy at the park.
A toilet block is also located a short walk away. From the park, cross the road and go past the bakery along Panmure Street. The toilet block is just before the Newstead Pool.
