Brown Park has been taped off and the water is being steadily drained out of the lake that occupies half of the park.

This could be the beginning of the plan to make the waters of Brown Park a place for fish to be bred or caught by those who seek a little light recreational fishing not far from the heart of town.

Already several items of rubbish and a Yabbee net has been recovered from the receding waters and there is potential for much more to be buried in the thick mud of the lake.

DNS will continue to watch and report on the action at Browns Park from it’s vantage point of K Block at Deniliquin TAFE which overlooks Brown Park.
