Bedford Street Pocket Park
Park of the Year Award
VIC/TAS
Submission Overview
The Bedford Street Pocket Park project provided new open space and greening for the North Melbourne community by converting roads and car parking surrounding Bedford Street Reserve to lawns, garden beds, tree planting, picnic and recreational areas, and a playground. The project expanded two existing reserves in proximity, Bedford Street Reserve and Courtney Street Reserve, created a new linear open space in Bedford Street, extended an existing median in Courtney Street and provided new street greening.
