NEWS RELEASE
Kailua Park Tennis Courts Closed for Renovations
The Hawai‘i County Department of Parks and Recreation announces the Kailua Park
tennis courts will be closed for construction beginning Tuesday, January 16, 2018. The
project is anticipated to be completed in August 2018.
While the construction is being conducted, Kealakehe High School has agreed to allow
public use of their tennis courts. For information regarding dates and times available,
please see contact information below.
The project will include installation of a new court surfacing system, new LED lighting
system for nighttime play, replacement of the fencing fabric and related enhancements.
The contractor will create a secure work area adjacent to the tennis courts that will be
fenced off for the public’s safety; this is intended to contain the majority of its operations.
There will be some utility and other work performed at certain times outside the secured
area that may temporarily restrict vehicular access to the parking area close to the
horseshoe pits. 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 for their understanding and
patience while the improvements of the tennis facilities progress.
For more information on the project, please contact Project Manager Eydie Komata at
961-8311. For information on alternative tennis venues and programs available to the
public in Kailua-Kona, please contact Recreation Supervisor Victor McDaniel at 327-
3566 or Recreation Administrator Mason Souza at 961-8740.
County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer.
