The beach at Winter Park’s Dinky Dock park is closed for swimming due to elevated bacteria levels in the water, the city said in a post on Twitter.

The swim ban will last at least through the weekend, the tweet said.

Officials will test the water again on Monday.

Dinky Dock is a 1.5-acre park on Ollie Avenue, which features a fishing pier and boat ramp. It is usually open for swimming, fishing and boating from dawn to dusk year-round.
