Hilo's Pi`ihonua Gym Closing for Renovations
The Hawaii County Department of Parks and Recreation will be
closing Pi`ihonua Gymnasium starting Monday, March 17, so it
can renovate the popular Hilo facility located within Gilbert
Carvalho Park.
Pi`ihonua Gymnasium is expected to be reopened at the end of
May.
County personnel will repair the gym's floor, apply a fresh coating
of protective wax, install new baskets and backboards, and add
more interior lighting.
The Carvalho Park baseball field, parking lots and pavilion will
remain available for public use while construction is occurring.
However, the park's playground is being replaced with new keiki
equipment, so that area is currently closed to protect the public.
For more information, please contact Chris Drayer, recreation
director assigned to Gilbert Carvalho Park, by calling 961-8737.
