Kolekole Gulch Park will reopen on Wednesday, April 24 with a public event hosted by the Department of Parks and Recreation.

The park was closed for a $6.3 million improvement project that included upgrades to the park and its facilities.

The primary aim of the project was to provide a fully accessible park in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) while also making significant upgrades to aging park infrastructure. Major improvements include construction of a new comfort station; a new pavilion; potable water infrastructure; fire protection water system; refurbished pavilions; and new walkways, ramps, picnic tables, lighted parking areas and landscaping.

In a press release Mayor Roth said, “Kolekole Gulch Park is an important point of access on the Hāmākua coast for fishing, swimming, surfing, and overall enjoyment of the stream and ocean, activities that are vital to our culture and the well-being of local residents. By enhancing accessibility for all and introducing upgraded amenities, we are securing its place as a cherished community space for generations to come.”
