Freeman Park closed until further notice after property owner makes changes

CAROLINA BEACH, NC (WWAY) — Carolina Beach Town Manager Michael Cramer says activities at Freeman Park could be a public safety hazard which has forced the area to be closed.

He says representatives from the Freeman Beach LLC, who own private property, installed posts, rope and sea oats plantings which encroach on the area of historical public beach.

Town staff has alerted CAMA and say they are looking into the situation.

Cramer says because of the obstructions and to reduce the likelihood of accidents at night Freeman park is closed until further notice.

The Freeman Park Committee will be meeting on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in the Town Hall Conference Room.
