For Immediate News Release September 18, 2015

KALANAI SECTION OF MALAEKAHANA STATE RECREATION AREA WILL CLOSE
FOR ONE MONTH BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 20, 2015

HONOLULU —  The Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of State Parks will close its campgrounds at the Kalanai (southern) section of Malaekahana State Recreation Area for approximately one month beginning September 20, 2015 for tree trimming and other needed maintenance.  

While this public safety work is going on, repairs to the park restrooms will also be undertaken, resulting in closure of those facilities.  Closing of the entire park will allow for more rapid completion of the work, and the park and campgrounds will be reopened at the earliest possible date following completion.

Division of State Parks apologizes for the inconvenience as these necessary safety improvements are completed.

The Kahuku Section of Mâlaekahana SRA, privately managed as Mâlaekahana Beach Campground, is unaffected by this project and will remain open.
