Despite yellow barriers blocking access points, some visitors continue to enter Grove Park in Rehoboth Beach while aeration work is underway, particularly families using the playground equipment.
City officials are emphasizing safety concerns as crews plan to work near the playground area on Wednesday, April 8, which could create dangerous conditions for anyone on the property. Residents who find themselves in the park during the closure should be aware that construction teams are active until 3 p.m. daily, making the area unsafe during those hours.
Officials also stress that visitors must stay away from freshly installed soil that’s part of the improvement project. Areas around tree bases have been clearly marked with warning signs and must not be disturbed.
Families looking for playground alternatives can visit facilities at Stockley Park and Lake Gerar within the City of Rehoboth Beach. The Grove Park renovation is expected to wrap up by May 15.
