River Heart Parklands
Ipswich City Council Notice
The River Heart Parklands and its connection pathway linking to Bob Gamble Park is currently closed due to the recent flooding event of March 2025 due to some extensive damage within the site. The entire parklands remain closed to the public to ensure public safety. Works are continuing throughout 2025 to have the site re-open and made available to the community but the extent of works required will take a significant some time. Further communications will be provided as progress occurs at the site
