Update at Higgs Beach from Hurricane Ian

Higgs Beach Playground:

Playground construction has started. The company has to make additional parks. As soon as we have more information we will update. Thank you for your understanding. 

 

Other repairs:

Dog parks, pier, fence, deck, and more are currently being planned.

 

“We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience,” said Parks and Beaches Director John Allen. “The most important thing is to make sure the little ones are safe when playing on the playground equipment and we are working as diligently as possible to progress the repairs and replacements at the beach.”
