Community invited to give feedback on new district park proposed in Hawaiian Paradise Park

Hawai‘i County Parks and Recreation proposes a new district park in Hawaiian Paradise Park and wants to know what the community thinks about its plans.

The department is hosting a community meeting from 5 to 7 p.m. today at the Hawaiian Paradise Park Owners Association Community Center, located at 15-1570 Maku‘u Drive, between 16th and 17th Streets, to discuss the park project.

The new park would be developed on a county-owned 20-acre parcel bordered by Kaloli Drive, 25th Avenue and 26th Avenue, and mainly serve residents of Hawaiian Paradise Park and greater Puna in support of healthy lifestyles and families.

Tonight’s community meeting is a continuation of the master planning process for the proposed park.

It will include discussion about the project’s environmental assessment process and provide community members the chance to share feedback on its design and amenities it will offer.
