The Martin County Health Department has recommended temporarily closing the Shoals Ballpark following recent flooding in the area. Officials say the field, restrooms, bleachers, and playground equipment need to be cleaned before the park can safely reopen. In the meantime, the public is urged to take precautions if using any parks or playgrounds. Health officials advise washing hands after use, especially before eating or drinking, and avoiding bringing toys, pacifiers, cups, or bottles into playground areas. Items that touch the ground or equipment should also be cleaned thoroughly. Cleanup efforts are underway, and the park is expected to reopen as early as tomorrow.
