The park will be open on the weekends <br />and County holidays. <br /> <br />This project will create more open areas for the public to enjoy, improve access to <br />Reeds Bay shoreline, and deter illicit activities occurring in the overgrown areas. All <br />green waste will be mulched at the site and spread under existing trees outside of the <br />shoreline setback area. The Department will work closely with the East Hawai‘i Outdoor <br />Circle to develop and implement a landscaping plan for the park. <br /> <br />The Department apologizes for any inconvenience this park closure may cause, and <br />thanks the public for their patience and understanding during this temporary closure. <br /> <br />For more information, please call Parks and Recreation at (808) 961-8311. <br /> <br /> <br />County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br /> <br /> <br />
