This County parcel has a long history and has grown in size as needed community services and recreational opportunities were added. It was acquired in 1965 for the Pahoa Fire Station, which was built in 1969, on its .255 acres. It was further enlarged in 1975 for buildings and recreational play yards. Most recently in 2002, land was acquired to encompass its present size of 71.121 acres. It has located within it, the original Pahoa Community Center(formally designated as the "Pahoa Neighborhood Facility"per Ordinance No. 00-15), the Pahoa Aquatics Center,the Ginny Aste Skate Park, and the newly completed covered recreational play court, along with the lighted outdoor ball fields. Adding the Pahoa District Park to the Farmers Market Facility Schedule would enhance sustainable agriculture objectives, encourage farm-to-table opportunities, and provide greater use of County parks and facilities by the public.
