The closures mean public access will not be permitted on any of the beaches, trails, boardwalks or parking lots within the parks.
In Bouctouche, La Dune de Bouctouche and the Arboretum Trails will also be closed.
“In these unprecedented times,” a statement issued Tuesday afternoon reads, “we as a community, must come together to ensure the health and safety of everyone is a top priority.”
