Howitt Park in Bright will be closed from Wednesday, 29 October 2025 through to Friday, 31 October 2025 to allow for maintenance works.
Works include river pool maintenance, erosion control, and planting trees to provide shade for community members and visitors into the future.
To reduce impact on community safety, Howitt Park will be closed to the public until end of day on Friday, 31 October 2025.
The proximity of the sites has meant that closure is the safest option.
Car park restrictions are in place by the river, with works extending through to Bright Splash Park.
The Splash Park and bridge over the Ovens River will remain open for use.
Signage is in place to direct pedestrian traffic. Pedestrians are reminded to follow all signage and additional directions provided by staff.
All works are expected to be complete by end of day Friday, 31 October 2025.
