National Park Service Announces Improvements to Frisco Day Use Area

Date: March 14, 2017
Contact: Nelson Pendleton, 252-475-9025

Work will begin this week at the Frisco Day Use Area to replace the viewing platform and boardwalk that was severely damaged during Hurricane Matthew. A temporary sand pathway at the southern end of the parking lot will provide a pedestrian access path to the beach for the duration of the project, which is anticipated to be completed by May 2017.

Park visitors can expect to see fencing in the parking lot and on the beach side to identify the limits of construction. As construction crews work to safely replace the boardwalk, please use extreme caution while operating a vehicle adjacent to construction operations and pay close attention to all signage.
