Carolina Beach urges residents to secure Freeman Park pass discounts amid ongoing nourishment work

NEW HANOVER COUNTY (WWAY) — Carolina Beach officials are reminding residents about Freeman Park’s parking pass deals, even though the nourishment project is under way. 

Residents and property owners of Carolina Beach are being offered certain deals on parking passes for Freeman Park. 

Passes are $110 dollars from now until the end of the month and will increase to $225 dollars on January first. 

Passes are available for purchase at Town Hall or the Parking Office. 

However, the Carolina Beach nourishment project construction base camp is set up inside Freeman Park. 

The park remains open as the project adds sand to the rest of the beach. 

Carolina Beach Town Manager, Bruce Oakley, says that even though there is construction within the park, it remains open and accessible to visitors. 

“There will be pipes on the ground, but they will have crossovers over the pipes, so and those pipes will be there until the Spring probably, so just, people need to be careful and aware of those, and they can traverse over them on the cross on the accesses, but be careful when you see them working and bulldozers and everything else out there,” said Oakley. 

A nourishment project to replace sand within Freeman Park is in the works, but no concrete details have been released yet.
