Templin Beach Park is closed on Tuesday for additional flood cleanup.

A City of Roseburg release said the five-acre park providing access to the South Umpqua River will be closed according to Public Works Director Ryan Herinckx.

Herinckx said Parks and Recreation staff will continue cleaning the park following the flooding that took place on Sunday, March 16th. Tuesday, Public Works and Park staff will be using a backhoe, skid steer and mini excavator at the park.

Parks crews will trim trees and weeds, redo landscape planters and provide general cleanup. In addition, nonprofit Heartwood Resources will pick up wood rounds produced after a large tree that fell across a multi-use path during the storm was cut up.

Sitting near the intersection of Southeast Templin Avenue and Southeast Arizona Streets, Templin Beach Park contains a boat launch ramp, restrooms and parking. The adjacent Happy Trails Dog Park will be closed until later this month so a contractor can replace the 730 feet of fencing that was destroyed during the flood.
