Bamford Lane Playground

The big trees here actually do their job — you’re not just getting token shade, you’re getting proper cover on a 35-degree Townsville afternoon. It’s set up more for school-age kids than littlies, so if you’ve got a six-year-old and up, this is your spot. Younger ones can still have a run around, but the equipment skews older. Bamford Lane is one of those local parks that doesn’t get much noise online but regulars in Kirwan know it delivers.
