NEWS RELEASE
Kuhio Kalaniana‘ole Park Temporary Closure from October 30-November 29
Hawai‘i County Department of Parks and Recreation is informing the public that Kuhio
Kalaniana‘ole Park in Hilo will be temporarily closed from October 30, 2019 to
November 29, 2019 for clearing and maintenance of overgrown foliage, bushes, tall
weeds and non-native trees near the shoreline. The park will be open on the weekends
and County holidays.
This project will create more open areas for the public to enjoy, improve access to
Reeds Bay shoreline, and deter illicit activities occurring in the overgrown areas. All
green waste will be mulched at the site and spread under existing trees outside of the
shoreline setback area. The Department will work closely with the East Hawai‘i Outdoor
Circle to develop and implement a landscaping plan for the park.
The Department apologizes for any inconvenience this park closure may cause, and
thanks the public for their patience and understanding during this temporary closure.
For more information, please call Parks and Recreation at (808) 961-8311.
County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer.
