1 As you know, a commitment was made by Parker Ranch in 2002 to dedicate lands
TREASURER { to the County of Hawai'i for public park and recreational purposes. This was part
John Edney i of a rezoning ordinance that recognized a serious shortage of public recreational
808,885.8820 � facilities in the Waimea area that predated 2002 by many years. These lands that
john.edney@gmaii.com I were set aside have been used for the Waimea Trails and Greenways project, as
well as the proposed Waimea Regional District Park.
DIRECTORS
The Waimea community has, in the ensuing years, dedicated a tremendous
Riley Smith fI amount of time to working with both the Ranch and County Parks and Rec staff to
808.936.7129 plan and design a long dreamed of District Park, and more recently, worked with
rsrnith@lan€hou.net the County Administration, Council, State Legislature and the Governor to secure
Wayne 1-iigaki authorization and release of matching funds for a master plan, and now
808 896 5851 construction of Phase 1. We sincerely thank everyone who has had a hand in
