About this episode

Pullen Park’s iconic Lake Howell is finally getting its water back after a major $2 million renovation—drained last winter to replace crumbling 90-year-old walls with new, erosion-resistant concrete blocks built to last 50 years. This week, the lake will be refilled with groundwater and Rocky Branch creek water, then drained again for final engineering checks. Fish were relocated, underwater pipes replaced, and the goal is full reopening by month’s end—just in time for the park’s Holiday Express festivities. A historic landmark since the 1930s, this upgrade ensures Lake Howell remains a serene centerpiece for generations to come.
