Bedford's pocket parks, playgrounds and lakes are places for all of Bedford's residents to enjoy and relax in a beautiful, natural setting. There are over 205 acres of parks, greenways and open spaces at Bedford, along with 26 miles of tree-lined sidewalks, which provide safe places for jogging, walking or bike riding. There are also plenty of resting places and gathering areas along the way. Bedford's lakes and fountain features are also tranquil additions to the community.

Bedford also has four playgrounds to choose from, which often leaves kids with the difficult decision of picking where to play with their friends. The Recreation Center's "Central Park" is a community favorite, with swings and slides, a merry-go-round and a mini rock wall. With so many playgrounds to choose from, kids can slide, climb, run, jump, or hang to their heart's content.

There are so many open spaces to take advantage of, which makes Bedford the perfect place to stay active throughout the year.
