Construction is underway to build facilities at Parlee Beach which will make it more wheelchair-accessible.
The provincial government has announced $400,000 for a new comfort station with accessible washrooms, indoor showers, sheltered outdoor showers and family changing rooms.
The playground has a nautical theme with a play boat and swinging ride shaped like a raft and will be accessible to all children.
“It’s exciting to see one of New Brunswick’s most popular beaches become more accessible,” said Tourism, Heritage and Culture Minister Tammy Scott-Wallace.

First responders were called to Jonathan Creek late Thursday afternoon after a man was spotted in the water near West Main Street.
Moncton Fire Platoon Chief Dennis Dollemont says the resident of an apartment building on Prince Street heard something in the creek around 4:30 p.m.
