The James Kealoha Beach Park in Keaukaha, South Hilo, will be closed from Monday, August 8, to Friday, August 12, for roadway and parking area repaving.

Upon re-opening, the park’s one-way traffic pattern will be re-established coupled with a new system of reverse angled parking. Reverse angled parking requires all vehicles to be backed-into marked stalls and is being implemented to complement the one-way traffic pattern, enhance the safe maneuvering of vehicles into and out of parking stalls, and for the increased safety of persons loading/unloading their parked vehicles as well as those using the park.

Signs explaining these new changes will be displayed throughout the park.
