This week on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, both the Pirate Ship and the E.F. Middleton Park playgrounds in the Middleton Park Complex will be CLOSED to accommodate the addition of new mulch in the equipment areas.
This is mulch specifically designed for use in playgrounds and will refresh what is currently installed. The closure is only expected to last a few hours for each location, with split closure times throughout the day to minimize inconvenience:
IMPORTANT: To ensure this work is completed as SAFE and QUICKLY as possible, please DO NOT enter these work areas, or try to stop workers onsite to speak with them. For any questions on this closure, simply use the Administration Contact Form at OakIslandNC.gov/CONTACT.
