The City of Brandon has closed one of its parks and two recreational spots due to overland flooding.

Dinsdale Park, the Fat Bike Trail and the Red Willow Pathway walking bridge are all closed for public safety, the city announced in a Facebook post.

The city is also urging people to be careful if they are near the Assiniboine River Corridor, saying open waterways can be dangerous.

The province issued a high-water advisory for the Assiniboine River between the Shellmouth Dam north of Russell and Portage la Prairie late last week. The bulletin said warming spring weather was expected to speed up snowmelt, increase ice movement and raise water levels across the region.
