Honma Director James M. Komata Deputy Director Kukuihaele Park Closed for Construction The County of Hawaii Department of Parks and Recreation announces the temporary closure of Kukuihaele Park effective immediately and continuing through completion of construction activities, currently anticipated to be in April of 2017. The project will improve and enhance the recreational facilities provided at this rural park for the benefit of area youth, residents and our entire island community. In addition to replacing the existing outdoor basketball court and upgrading the sports field, the County is investing in a new pavilion and restroom facility to support community gatherings, a new walking path to promote healthy living, and amenities such as picnic tables, onsite parking, safety improvements, and enhanced landscaping. The general contractor has fenced off the entire perimeter of the park for public safety, and the County respectfully requests the public's assistance in honoring the contractor's worksite and ongoing construction operations. The Department of Parks and Recreation thanks park users and the general public for their understanding and patience while it works to improve Kukuihaele Park.
