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