The County of Hawai’i Department of Parks & Recreation announces that Kolekole Gulch Park, located just north of Honomū, will be closed Monday, Dec. 2 through Friday, Dec. 6 for tree removal work.

The maintenance work will be performed adjacent to the narrow section of the Old Mamalahoa Highway that extends from Highway 19 to the park entrance. This portion of the road will be closed during the daytime hours while the work is ongoing.

If the tree work is completed sooner than anticipated, the park and road may reopen ahead of schedule.

Parks & Recreation thanks the public for its patience and understanding.
