FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hawai‘i County to Install Two New Playgrounds
The Hawai‘i County Department of Parks and Recreation is pleased to
announce the upcoming installation of new children’s playground
equipment at both Waiākea-Uka and Gilbert Carvalho parks in Hilo.
Construction work will start Tuesday, January 21, at Waiākea-Uka Park
located at 1200 ‘Āinaola Drive. Beginning Thursday, February 20, work
will shift to Gilbert Carvalho Park located at 850 Waiānuenue Avenue.
Both parks will remain open for public use during the construction phase.
However, the parks’ existing playgrounds will be removed and therefore
unavailable for use. To protect the public, work areas will be fenced in.
Park users are advised to be aware of construction activities and
equipment at both sites.
The Department of Parks and Recreation thanks park users and the
general public for their cooperation, patience and understanding as we
provide for enhanced recreational experiences for our keiki.
For more information, please contact Jason Armstrong, Public
Information Officer, at 345-9105 or jarmstrong@co.hawaii.hi.us.
