Bradfield Park, Park in Milsons Point, Sydney, Australia
Bradfield Park is a small park in Milsons Point, on the northern shore of Sydney Harbour, sitting directly beneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It features open grass areas, tree-lined paths, and benches facing the water.
The land around the park was once used for shipbuilding and maritime activities before being converted into a public green space. It was named after John Bradfield in recognition of his role in building the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Bradfield Park takes its name from John Bradfield, the engineer behind the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Small plaques and monuments in the park keep his story visible for anyone walking through.
The park is within walking distance of Milsons Point train station and easy to reach from nearby streets. A visit in the late afternoon works well, as the light falls directly on the bridge and the water.
The park sits directly beneath one of the Sydney Harbour Bridge pylons, making it one of the few spots where you can look straight up at the steel structure from ground level. This close-up view of the bridge from below is something most visitors do not expect when they arrive.
