Hartford & New Haven, CT, September 29, 2026 —
East Lyme officials announced that parking lots at two popular local parks will be closed on Tuesday to facilitate the removal of debris accumulated from a recent weekend nor’easter. The affected areas include Cini Park and McCook Point Park.
In addition to the parking lot closures, the east end of the town’s boardwalk will also be temporarily inaccessible to the public as cleanup operations are underway. The closures are scheduled to begin on Tuesday, with the specific duration of these temporary measures not immediately provided.
The storm debris is a direct result of the severe weather experienced over the weekend, which brought significant conditions to the region. Town authorities are undertaking cleanup efforts to restore full access and ensure the safety and aesthetic appeal of these public spaces.
Residents and visitors planning to access Cini Park or McCook Point Park are advised to seek alternative locations for recreation on Tuesday. Information regarding the reopening of the parking lots and the boardwalk section is expected to be released by the relevant town departments once the cleanup is complete. The specific department managing the cleanup was not provided in the initial announcement.
