Jacob's Ladder, Brisbane, Public outdoor stairway in Spring Hill, Brisbane, Australia

Jacob's Ladder is a long outdoor pedestrian staircase of 86 concrete steps in Brisbane, running from Edward and Turbot Streets up to Wickham Terrace. It lies within King Edward Park, with reddish-brown treads and landings, metal handrails on both sides, and blue signs marked "Ladder" beside the upper section.

The concrete steps were built in 1920, replacing an earlier steep path without steps. The name was already in use by 1897, and in 1914 poinsettias were planted alongside the steps to brighten them. Between 1918 and 1920 the Minister for Lands Harry Coyne tried unsuccessfully to resume the land for the adjoining Trades Hall site, and in April 1922 access was restored after that building went up.

The name Jacob's Ladder references the Biblical stairway to Heaven, representing the steep ascent from Brisbane's central business district to Spring Hill.

Jacob's Ladder runs from the corner of Edward and Turbot Streets up to Wickham Terrace, inside King Edward Park. It is the shortest but steepest pedestrian route from the central business district to Spring Hill, so allow time for the 86 steps. Metal handrails line both sides of the stairway.

In March 1928 a Whippet motor car was driven up the full length of the 86 steps so a newspaper could photograph the feat as proof of the car's reliability. A 1930 request to hold a truck hill-climb on the stairs was refused by the municipal council.
