Hawaiian Beaches Park Theft and Vandalism
Roxcie L. Wattjen
Director
Maurice C. Messina
Deputy Director
The Hawaii County Department of Parks and Recreation is asking for the public's
assistance at Hawaiian Beaches Park in Puna. During morning maintenance on
November 4, 2019, park caretakers became aware that over 100 feet of fencing and top
rail was stolen from the baseball field. This theft, along with numerous acts of
vandalism and property damage at this park in the recent weeks have strained
departmental assets in Puna, as we must make timely repairs to damaged facilities to
ensure public safety — all while continuing to ensure other park facilities in Puna are
properly maintained.
The department needs help from the public. If you see illegal activity at this or any other
county park, please call the police department and make a report. Your county parks
are central components of vibrant communities and are utilized by people of all ages. It
is our intent to provide safe and enjoyable facilities for the public and we will continue to
do our very best in achieving our mission; however, theft and vandalism put a budgetary
strain on our resources and park closures may occur with little or no notice if a facility is
not safe for the public.
To report information about this incident, please contact the Police non -emergency
number at 935-3311.
If property damage or vandalism is found at any of your parks and beaches, please
inform Parks and Recreation as soon as possible at (808) 961-8311.
County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer.
