Historic Reserve Information
James Bailey (1838-1902) was a past honorary secretary of the Port Institute and Manager of the Lion Timber Mills.
Under the will of the late Mrs. M.A. Wright, the Port Adelaide City Council would receive a bequest of about £3,000 for the purchase of land for one or two children's playgrounds.
Three playgrounds had been constructed through his trust, St. Patricks Square - Alberton, John Hart ovals - Ethelton and Portland Road - Queenstown. Renamed to James Bailey Reserve in his honour.
