FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
KAHALU`U BEACH PARK REOPENED
The Hawai‘i County Department of Parks and Recreation
announces that Kahalu`u Beach Park in Kailua-Kona has
reopened as of this afternoon. All plumbing and maintenance
repairs have been completed.
The park was closed on February 24 due to a broken sewer
clean-out. Parks staff worked steadily to do the repairs and
ensure that the water quality at the site was acceptable under
State Department of Health rules.
“We really appreciate the hard work of our Parks maintenance
staff,” said Parks and Recreation Director Charmaine Kamaka.
“They really pulled for us to get the park reopened quickly and
safely.”
County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer.
Kamaka thanked the public for their patience and understanding,
and also thanked the Department of Environmental
Management’s Wastewater Division for their assistance.
