Waahila Ridge State Recreation Area Improvements Planned
Posted on Feb 25, 2021UPDATE: 2/26/21
Starting 2/25-2/26 and 3/1-3/2 a security guard will posted at the park entrance to inform that the park is closed and turn away anyone entering the park from 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM on those days. This step is necessary as people are not heeding the park closed notice and traversing in construction areas that are hazardous to their safety, as well as our project workers.
ORIGINAL POST: Park improvements at Wa’ahila Ridge State Recreation Area, on O‘ahu begin next week. Improvements include the repaving and expansion of the parking area, walkway replacement and new pathways to the picnic area. New speed bumps will be added. The project includes repairs to the pavilion and comfort stations, as well as the removal of tree hazards.
People are asked to avoid construction areas for their own safety. There will be constant construction traffic, moving equipment, site work, material and debris removal, and other construction related activities.
