Four Hawaiʻi state parks will implement parking management and fee systems for nonresidents and commercial vehicles at Wailuku River State Park and Kekaha Kai State Park on Hawaiʻi Island, Wailua River State Park on Kauaʻi and Puʻu ʻUalakaʻa State Wayside on Oʻahu

The fee structure will follow the same format as the current system in place for the 10  parks that already charge parking fees for nonresidents, with Hawaiʻi residents continuing to receive free parking.

The approved permits authorize private operators to implement systems that help manage traffic, improve safety and reduce vehicle break-ins, as well as make fee payment more convenient. These funds will continue to support park maintenance, facility upgrades and long-term resource protection.

The selected companies include Diamond Parking Services LLC, which will manage parking at Wailuku River and Kekaha Kai State Parks; Republic Parking Northwest LLC, which will manage parking at Wailua River State Park; and Pro Park Inc., which will manage Puʻu ʻUalakaʻa State Wayside on Oʻahu.
