Once the blessing ceremony is complete, the covered play <br />courts and upper baseball fields will be open for recreational use. <br /> <br />Repairs are being made to the entire facility, which sustained damage while being used <br />as a temporary evacuation center during the 2018 eruption of the East Rift Zone. <br />Repairs are expected to take approximately 13 months, and parts of the park will be <br />closed intermittently while these repairs are being made. The soccer fields will remain <br />closed until they are repaired and safe for use. <br /> <br />For more information, or to reserve the covered play courts or the upper baseball fields <br />for recreational use, please contact Parks and Recreation, Recreation Division, at <br />965-6348. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br /> <br /> <br />
