The Baldwin Beach Park parking lot will be closed today to repair damage caused by heavy rains in recent weeks.

Access to the popular beach will be allowed even though the parking lot will be coned off.

The Department of Parks and Recreation said the dirt parking area will be graded and the stream adjacent to the park cleaned up. Beach users are being asked to park along the driveway or in front of the park along the highway.

The parks department also said Baldwin Beach Park will be closed for a day sometime in the next few weeks when gravel is available to resurface the parking area.
