Kailua Park Temporary Traffic-Safety Measures
Start August 29
Starting Friday morning August 29, the Hawai‘i County Department of
Parks and Recreation will implement temporary traffic-safety measures at
Kaila Park, also known as Old Kona Airport Park, to accommodate the E.K.
Fernandez Big Island Fair 2014.
Vehicular traffic entering Kailua Park will be diverted to the beach access
road located at the north end of Kuakini Highway. This is being done to
provide for the safety of park users, fair attendees, and fair operators
setting up and disassembling carnival rides.
The Department of Parks and Recreation asks all motorists to follow the
temporary 5 mph speed limit while driving along the park’s beach access
road. This speed limit will be in effect until normal traffic patterns are
reinstated on the morning of Thursday, September 11.
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 961-8311 or jarmstrong@hawaiicounty.gov.
