We are happy to announce the reopening of the Kīholo State Park Reserve. Many trees and large branches have fallen due to the high winds, so please use extreme caution and be mindful of any hanging tree branches.
Due to continuing unstable weather conditions, Kīholo State Park Reserve will remain closed today, Monday, December 6, until further notice. Once weather conditions stabilize, our staff will assess the park to ensure a safe reopening.
Throughout Hawaiʻi, the voices of our kūpuna remain as constant reminders, giving us guidance and direction. In this panel, we fold in the voices of our ʻōpio, the youth, as they too can remind, guide and direct us as our future leaders in aloha ʻāina.
