The plaque commemorates Ella Robinson for her creation of the Community Playshed.

In 2002, local resident Ella Robinson petitioned the former Bendemere Shire Council to have Jackson State School's play shed, built in 1908, relocated from the former school site (which had laid dormant since the School's closure in 1983) to the centre of town at the old railway station site to serve as a Intercity Bus Stop (ICBS) for passengers travelling on Greyhound Australia`s long-distance coach services. In 2012, numerous information panels were installed in the old play shed illustrating the town's history and paying tribute to the pioneers who helped establish the rural community.
