In preparation for Hurricane Irma, the city of Palm Coast is making sand and sandbags available for residents at several locations, according to a Palm Coast city government news release.

The bags quickly ran out — the city went through about 10,000 by the night of Sept. 5  — but the city still has sand and has encouraged residents to bring heavy duty garbage bags (or to  double-layer standard bags) to fill with sand.

Palm Coast sand stations are self-serve: Residents should bring their own shovels and be prepared to fill their own bags.

Self-service sand stations are available during daylight hours at:

  • Palm Coast Public Works Yard, 1 Wellfield Grade, off U.S. 1 just north of Palm Coast Parkway, Palm Coast.
  • Holland Park, 18 Florida Park Drive, Palm Coast
  • Indian Trails Sports Complex, 5455 Belle Terre Pkwy., Palm Coast
  • Seminole Woods Neighborhood Park, 350 Sesame Blvd., Palm Coast

For more information, call Palm Coast Customer Service at 986-2360.
