CAROLINA BEACH — Parts of Freeman Park will re-open on Saturday morning after closures last week due to beach renourishment work.

According to the town, the park will re-open to the public on Saturday, Feb. 23, at 8 a.m. However, the north end of the park — past “Zone 9” — will remain closed due to flooding from high tides.

The town continues to urge caution in the area and notes that work areas are still off limits.

“Please note that some piping being used for the coastal storm damage reduction project will be located above ground in certain areas. All patrons of Freeman Park should avoid driving, walking or standing anywhere near the pipe. Work locations for this project will be roped off and the public is not allowed in those areas due to hazardous conditions such as soft, sinking sand and heavy equipment usage,” according to a release.

If you have any questions about Freeman Park closing, or the coastal storm damage reduction project, please contact Ed Parvin at 910-458-2999.
