Play space and landscape upgrades transform Birkett Reserve
The City has completed a play space and landscape upgrade to Birkett Reserve in Bedford, as part of the City's Play Space Strategy.
The City has completed a $150,000 play space and landscape upgrade to Birkett Reserve in Bedford, as part of the City’s Play Space Strategy.
Thanks to feedback from the community, Birkett Reserve now features a new playground, refurbished shade sails, additional seating, a picnic table, mulched garden beds with native plants, and additional trees offering an improved area for families to play, relax and picnic.
The existing play equipment was replaced with a large, brand-new playground consisting of a new slide, two-seat swing set, sand pit and several climbing structures.
The new swing set features a wheelchair accessible swing, allowing kids of all abilities to enjoy the improved playground.
In addition to the new play equipment, 2,500 native plants were installed into new mulched garden beds to help enhance biodiversity and reduce water use.
The City is committed to improving its reserves and facilities, and developing inclusive play spaces as part of its Play Space Strategy.
