A portion of East Coast Park has been temporarily closed to facilitate cleanup operations after an oil spill affected the beach area. The National Parks Board and relevant authorities have restricted access to the water at Area D, citing environmental and public health concerns.
Members of the public have been advised to refrain from swimming, wading, or participating in any water-based recreational activities in the impacted section. The restrictions remain in effect while cleanup and remediation efforts are underway.
The incident prompted swift action from environmental and municipal authorities to contain the spill and prevent further ecological damage. Regular updates on the status of the cleanup operation and any changes to access restrictions are expected to be provided to the public.
East Coast Park remains partially operational, with other sections remaining open for public use during the remediation period.
