Overall Rating
Poor
Maxwell Park is a small station with one platform in between the tracks that are accessed via stairs from a footbridge connecting Terregles Avenue and Fotheringay Road. The stairs are inside a little building, which is old and cute, and the whole area is pretty, including the eponymous park, but I will not be taking the train from here any time soon due to lack of access. There is no step-free access to the platform, so my review is based on what I could see from above.
Disabled Access In and Around
Poor
The station entrances have a tall railway sign on both sides. There is a slight incline from the road up to the middle of the footbridge. The stairs down to the platform have handrails on either side and in the middle and worn out contrast paint along the edges. The only tactile markings are the standard ones along the platform, about a foot from the edge. There are some benches on the platform, all with backrests and some with armrests between the seats. There are also some bike racks on the platform.
Parking & Transport
Poor
I travelled to this place by personal vehicle
There are no lowered curbs to cross the road at either end of the footbridge and no designated drop-off point, but there is street parking to both sides of the station. I am not aware of any nearby bus stops.
Accessible facilities: Public or on street parking
