The Pop-up Park in Healesville, located between The Memo and Healesville Library, is currently under refurbishment.
The Healesville Pop-up Park was installed in 2021 to provide a wonderful open-air platform for entertainers to perform, artists to run workshops and local school or community groups to gather meaningfully and creatively.
Yarra Ranges Council built environment and infrastructure director Hjalmar Philipp said the pop-up park in Healesville has been a real hit with the local community since being installed.
“The community let us know that some of the wooden boards had begun to rot, as well as some general wear and tear due to how much it has been used over the past three years,” he said.
“We’ve temporarily closed the park while we fix up the wooden boards and give it a new lick of paint.
“These works will help extend the life of this space until we start discussions for a more permanent design, which we’ll invite the community to participate in.”
The Healesville Pop-up Park will come back for the community in July with new equipment.
