Stewart Park Committee of Management

Stewart Park, located on Montgomery Street in Skipton, Victoria, is a cherished community space renowned for its picturesque landscapes and recreational facilities. The park is home to the 'Platypus Rising' sculpture, a four-meter-high artwork by artist Mike Makatron, featuring four patinated aluminium platypuses encircling reeds made of Corten steel. This installation reflects the local platypus population thriving in Mount Emu Creek, which runs through the park. Stewart Park also hosts various community events, including the annual 'Clear the Carp' fishing competition, aimed at controlling carp populations in the creek. The park's serene environment and cultural significance make it a focal point for both residents and visitors.
