Freeman Park reopens, town issues own violation to land owners

CAROLINA BEACH, NC (WWAY) — Less than a week after the town closed it to traffic, Freeman Park is back open although not the way the town would like.

Land owners planted sea oats and the town said the posts made travel along the historic public access unsafe.

The town issued a violation to the land owners in addition to the one issued by the State Division of Coastal Management demanding the fence be removed Monday.

Town leaders say they hope to hear from the state Tuesday on moving forward.

They urge visitors to drive with caution on Freeman Park.
