MEDIA RELEASE

The Department of Parks and Recreation will be closing the Old Airport Park in Kona from 7 a.m. on Wednesday, August 9 and Thursday, August 10, 2017, to facilitate community clean-up efforts.

Anyone camping at or using the park is being asked to leave prior to and during the park closure and clean up. Under Hawai‘i County Code (Section 15-39), camping in the park will not be allowed after the park clean up.

Various County departments, community groups, organizations and individuals are assisting with the clean-up event, and Parks and Recreation is seeking volunteers to help with clean-up efforts.
