Parks and Recreation’s Covered Play Courts Set to Reopen

Pahoa Open Play Courts

The County of Hawai‘i Department of Parks and Recreation announces the reopening of its three open-air covered play courts, located in Pāhoa, Pana‘ewa, and Waimea.

“As we continue to evaluate reopening our facilities in a safe manner, we are taking the next step of
opening these three covered play court facilities specifically because they have an open-air design,” said
Maurice Messina, Department of Parks and Recreation Director.

Pana‘ewa Park’s and Pāhoa District Park’s covered play courts reopened yesterday, April 5, 2021.
Waimea District Park’s covered play court, which is currently being utilized as a Resilience Learning
Hub, will reopen on Monday, May 3, 2021.

“These facilities will be available for scheduled, organized recreation activities, and reservations are required. The Recreation Directors at each facility will work with the public on reservations,
