Temporary traffic-safety measures for Kailua-Kona’s Maka‘eo Park
The Hawai‘i County Department of Parks and Recreation has implemented temporary
traffic-safety measures at Maka‘eo Park, also known as the Old Kona Airport Park, that
will remain in place until the E.K. Fernandez Big Island Fair wraps up.
To provide for the safety of park users and fair attendees, traffic is being diverted to the
beach access road located at the north end of Kuakini Highway. The Department of
Parks and Recreation asks all motorists to abide by a temporary 5 mph speed limit
while driving along the park’s beach access road. This speed limit will be in effect until
the park closes on Tuesday, September 10.
The Department of Parks and Recreation thanks the public for its understanding while
these temporary safety measures are implemented.
For more information, please contact Jason Armstrong, Public Information Officer, at
