Parkour Park at Wangaratta’s Apex Park Regional Playspace is closed due to flooding. Ongoing rainfall and high river levels have caused inundation of the area and temporary fencing has been installed to restrict access to the parkour facilities.
Rural City of Wangaratta Community and Infrastructure Director Marcus Goonan said, “’Parkour Park was designed and constructed to withstand flood however temporary fencing was required to stop people accessing the park’’.
“The Park was closed last Thursday 25 August however has sustained some minor damage,” Mr Goonan said.
“Temporary fencing has been installed to protect the parkour facilities, surrounds and users. Council closes flood affected walking tracks when required to protect assets and people, this is no different.
“Floodwaters are not unexpected in Apex Park, and this was factored into the design. The majority of the park has performed as designed with no damage. There are some areas of the fake grass which have lifted, and these will be repaired, and the park reopened when weather permits.
Parkour Park has been popular with locals and visitors to Wangaratta. It offers a modern, unique facility for training and recreation.
Parkour Park was constructed by Council with funding from the Victorian Government’s regional Infrastructure Fund and a low interest loan from the Victorian Government for Project Delivery.
