Bedford Playground, Heritage playground in Spring Hill, Australia.
Bedford Playground spans across 8 Love Street with tennis courts, a children's play area, and a steam locomotive among established trees.
The third children's playground created by the Playground Association of Queensland in 1927 was designed by architect Frank Gibson Costello.
The site received its name in 1959 to honor Mary Josephine Bedford, who dedicated her life to improving family welfare in Brisbane.
The playground includes separate sections for different age groups, featuring modern equipment and shaded areas for recreational activities.
A substantial porphyry outcrop from an 1860s quarry remains within the playground, presenting a geological remnant of Brisbane's early construction industry.
