Hoaloha Park is a small urban shoreline park located in Kahului. The park is predominantly used by canoe clubs for Hawaiian canoe paddling activities and is home to two canoe hale. Other ocean users also use Hoaloha Park as a launch site, including surfers, swimmers, stand up paddleboarders and wingfoilers. Fishermen also use the beach to cast their lines.
The vicinity of the park is actively redeveloping, with a recently completed affordable senior housing complex, a forthcoming mixed use Kahului Civic Center Complex, and resort developments and renovations nearby. Ka‘ahumanu Avenue, which provides access to the park, is one of the busiest corridors on Maui and is being reimagined as a transit-oriented development (TOD) community corridor with housing, landscaping, and multi-modal transportation options.
In 2022, the County of Maui acquired two parcels to the west and south of the existing Hoaloha Park site via dedication from A&B Properties. With the addition of these parcels the size of Hoaloha Park has doubled to a total of 5 acres.
The 2021 Beach Park Vulnerability and Adaptation Study along with the newly acquired parcels provide an opportunity to reimagine Hoaloha as a vibrant urban waterfront park serving the needs of the local community while adapting to sea level rise impacts and coastal hazards.
