Due to a delay in construction, the tennis courts will remain open <br />through January 22, 2018. The tennis courts will be closed from January 23, and are <br />expected to reopen when the project is completed in August of 2018. <br /> <br />While the construction is being conducted, Kealakehe High School has agreed to allow <br />public use of their tennis courts. For information regarding dates and times available, <br />please see contact information below. <br /> <br />The project will include installation of a new court surfacing system, new LED lighting <br />system for nighttime play, replacement of the fencing fabric and related enhancements. <br /> <br />The contractor will create a secure work area for itself adjacent to the tennis courts that <br />will be fenced off for the public’s safety that is intended to contain the majority of its <br />operations. There will be some utility and other work performed at certain times outside <br />the secured area that may temporarily restrict vehicular access to the parking area <br />nearest the horseshoe pits. The County respectfully requests the public’s assistance in <br />honoring the contractor’s worksite and ongoing construction operations. <br /> <br />The Department of Parks and Recreation thanks park users and the general public for <br />their understanding and patience while it works to improve the tennis facilities at Kailua <br />Park. <br /> <br />County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
