Hilo Summer Fun Program Moved due to
Temporary Closure of Gilbert Carvalho Park
Summer Fun programs at Hilo's Gilbert Carvalho Park will be
moved to the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium on Monday, July 7,
and Tuesday, July 8, due to a temporary closure of the park.
An interruption in water service prompted the Hawaii County
Department of Parks and Recreation to cancel all activities at
Gilbert Carvalho Park and relocate the keiki Summer Fun
program. The Department expects to reopen the park and again
offer the Summer Fun program there starting Wednesday, July 9.
Summer Fun programs held at other Hilo venues are not affected
by the temporary closure of Gilbert Carvalho Park.
The Department of Parks and Recreation apologizes for any
inconveniences caused by the emergency closure and thanks the
public for its understanding while water service is being restored.

Information Officer, at 961-8311 or jarmstrong(a co.hawaii.hi.us.
