FOR the third time this summer, the Department of Parks and Wildlife was forced to close Avon Valley National Park.

The park was closed on Saturday and reopened on Monday because of the Bureau of Meteorology’s fire danger rating.

The department also closed Serpentine National Park on Sunday before reopening it the following day.
