The new public artwork has been installed, and we're about to begin working on the park's bridges and boardwalks....
Here's an update on some recent and upcoming works delivered as part of the Ruffey Lake Park Masterplan.
New public artwork at Boulevarde Hill
The new sculpture by Natasha Johns-Messenger was installed in June this year.
Named EllipseCircleView, this artwork draws inspiration from the panoramic views of Ruffey Lake Park. Its simple geometric forms encourage visitors to contemplate their surroundings and appreciate the beauty of the landscape.
Find out more about the artist and artwork.
Bridges and boardwalks
Works commencing soon
Starting in October 2024 and continuing through 2025, we’ll be enhancing the pathways around Ruffey Lake Park. These works aim to improve accessibility and connectivity, creating a better experience for park users.
Works will be carried out in stages through 2025, and will include:
King Street pedestrian bridge
We’re building a new bridge across Ruffey Creek to provide a safe and accessible all-weather connection for pedestrians. The bridge will offer an alternative to the existing narrow footpath along King Street.
These works will begin later this month and are expected to be completed in December. This schedule is subject to weather conditions.
King Street underpass widening
We’re widening the existing path under the King Street pedestrian bridge. The upgraded 2.5 metre wide shared path will support pedestrians and cyclists travelling through the area.
These works are scheduled to begin in 2025.
Quarry pedestrian bridge
We’re building a new bridge at the Quarry to provide a safe and accessible path for pedestrians. These works will likely begin in 2025.
Ruffey Lake boardwalk
We’re building a boardwalk along Ruffey Lake to create a safe, accessible, and visually appealing pathway that encourages the community to enjoy the lake and its surroundings.
The boardwalk construction is expected to start in 2025.
We’ll continue to publish updates on the works and schedule on the Ruffey Lake Masterplan Your Say Manningham page – subscribe to receive updates via email.
