The County of Hawaiʻi Department of Parks and Recreation announces the temporary closure of the playground at Spencer Kalani Schutte District Park in Waimea starting Tuesday, Oct. 28 for a scheduled maintenance project.

The playground area will be entirely closed off during the project to ensure public safety, and temporary construction fencing and signage will be posted around the work zone. Park visitors are asked to heed safety warnings and not enter the playground during the closure.

The repairs to the playground equipment are expected to be completed by Nov. 8, depending on weather conditions and other factors.

Other facilities and amenities at the park will continue normal operations.

The Department of Parks and Recreation appreciates the community’s patience and understanding while this important maintenance work is completed.
