Kailua Park Temporary Access -Route Change
August 21 through September 2
The Hawaii County Department of Parks and Recreation will temporarily
change the access route into Kaila Park, also known as Old Kona Airport
Park, from Friday, August 21, through Wednesday, September 2, to
accommodate the E.K. Fernandez Big Island Fair 2015.
During this period, vehicular traffic entering Kailua Park will be diverted to
the beach access road located at the north end of Kuakini Highway. The
Department of Parks and Recreation reminds all motorists not to exceed
the road's 5 mph speed limit that will be in effect until normal traffic patterns
are reinstated on the morning of Wednesday, September 2.
Signs will be posted to inform motorists of the routing change and affected
dates.
The Department of Parks and Recreation thanks the public for its
understanding while it implements the temporary routing change aimed at
protecting park users, fair attendees, and fair operators who will be setting
up and disassembling carnival rides.

Officer, at 961-8311 or iarmstronq�a hawaiicountgov.
