PORTIONS OF WAHIAWA FRESHWATER STATE RECREATION AREA
TO CLOSE FOR TREE REMOVAL

 

HONOLULU — The Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of State Parks will close portions of Wahiawa Freshwater State Recreation Area on weekdays for hazardous tree removal over the next two weeks, starting on Monday, August 3, 2015 and finishing by Friday, August 14, or sooner if possible.

 

A contractor will be removing six albizia trees next to the boat launch ramp and nearby parking areas, which will be closed on weekdays. If this section is completed early it will be reopened to the public.

Two tall eucalyptus trees next to the restroom will require adjacent parking stalls to be temporarily closed during active removal, for public safety.

The park will remain open on the weekend August 8 and 9.
