​FRIENDS OF BEDFORD PARK Spring Hill, Brisbane  Qld  Australia  4000  

New members are always welcome.  No membership fees apply.

 

Friends of Bedford Park (FoBP) was established in 2013.  We are a non-funded, not-for-profit, volunteer community group.  Our group meets on a monthly basis in Bedford Park, corner Love and Water Streets, Spring Hill, in the picnic shed.  We are made up of local residents, community organisations, government and business representatives, as well as members from the broader Brisbane community.  Our mission is to create an identity and maximise the use of Park facilities through its ongoing preservation, improvement and beautification.  We also work closely in consultation with the Brisbane City Council and other local community organisations to enhance park security and environment.  And, with the establishment of regular community based activities with a focus on child and family welfare—continue the legacy established by (Mary) Josephine Bedford. 

 

We want YOU!
