Josh Hill Oct 3 2024 at 4:04PM on page 1 Suggestion We especially support having a Pool, Soccer field, and Pickleball courts. One input item for our small keiki would be to include a fence along Kaloli Dr to keep toys and small children from running into the busy street. replies
Maria Gacula Oct 3 2024 at 2:00PM on page 1 This plan is wonderful! The variety of uses and areas will give HPP such needed recreation and community spaces, hopefully reducing the need to drive to Pahoa or Hilo. replies
Nicolette Douvris Oct 3 2024 at 8:58AM on page 1 Suggestion Full support for this amazing project! Safe walking / biking paths along Kaloli, Paradise and Makuu would make an excellent addition to the park. Imagine how many less cars we'd have on the roads! Mahalo to everyone pushing this project along!! 💚 replies
Dee Sep 25 2024 at 11:06AM on page 1 Aloha Rod! The community meeting is from 5pm-7pm at the HPPOA Community Center. replies
Bri Sep 24 2024 at 4:26PM on page 1 Suggestion Most veterinarians and behaviorists will tell you dog parks are breeding grounds for disease, put dogs and people at risk for serious injury, and do not encourage healthy socialization for our canine companions. As a dog owner, I'd much prefer to see almost anything else in the dog park space such as: A facility that could host dog training, 4-H events, clubs, spay/neuter clinics. An accessible, inclusive, sensory nature trail/playground for all people. (ex: The Autism Nature Trail in NY, Cambridge's Universal Design Playground in MA) A splash pad for kids (ex: Deering Oaks Ravine in ME). An accessible ropes course (ex: Root Farm in NY). A recycling/up-cycling center. A performing arts space (ex: SPACE in Seaview, where many HPP residents travel regularly now). A place for old-school, early evening, drive-in style movies. A community garden to feed anyone who is hungry and teach those who want to learn. Any of these would better serve our community than a dog park. replies
Karla Sep 23 2024 at 10:36AM on page 1 Suggestion Love it! I hope the warm up areas will offer some workout equipment like Leilani has, or better. replies
John Sep 21 2024 at 12:02AM on page 1 This map is hard to use because the comment box keeps popping up and there's no way to close it without making a comment replies
Helen Duley Sep 20 2024 at 7:49PM on page 1 Suggestion I would like to propose a walking/running trail or path around the periphery of the park. replies
Mark Sep 20 2024 at 8:23AM on page 1 Question Are the Sports Fields going to be Synthetic Grass or Natural Grass? replies
Jesse Sep 20 2024 at 8:21AM on page 1 Suggestion The details mention that the perimeter path will be used for "leisure walking", which is not inclusive of runners or cyclists. It would be really great to see the path widened to accommodate more uses or for bike paths and sidewalks to be installed on the roads surrounding the park to allow for these other, popular activities to take place. At the very least, the language could be changed in the description and the existing 10' path could be utilized as a multiuse trail. replies
Brennan Low Sep 20 2024 at 8:18AM on page 1 Suggestion Pickleball is a lot louder than Tennis. Consider putting the rock wall suggested by Long Nguyen in between 26th avenue and the pickleball courts, to mitigate the noise impacts on 26th avenue residences nearest to these courts. The rock wall will dampen the sound. replies
Jesse Sep 20 2024 at 8:15AM on page 1 Suggestion This parking lot dedicates a very large amount of space for automobile transportation. As we are shifting towards more multimodal forms of transportation, I hope that bicycle parking will also be provided to allow and encourage the local community to choose more active means of transportation when heading to their new neighborhood park. Also, shoulder and sidewalk improvements could really be used around the perimeter to accommodate cyclists and pedestrian safety and maybe HPP could be required to make certain sidewalk improvements along Kaloli to allow children to safely access the park. replies
Brennan Low Sep 20 2024 at 8:12AM on page 1 Suggestion Consider expanding the concession station area to support one or two authorized food trucks, perhaps adjacent to the constructed facility. A vendor fee could help to offset security/maintenance costs, and provide area residents take-out options - as well as boosting the local economy. Imagine being able to grab a coffee after a morning jog, or being able to get shave ice when taking kids to the playground or park on the weekend. Is the county concession stand going to be open during those times? Some fee paying vendor may welcome the chance. replies
Brennan Low Sep 20 2024 at 8:01AM on page 1 Suggestion If these exercise stations are anything like the ones at Gilbert Kahele park on Mauna Kea... Yes, please. That is a model that should be copied widely, and will help provide the 'gym like' exercise experiences in a way that is accessible to all. Leiliani Estates has a loop of fitness stations all around their park, and it is well-used. replies
Long nguyen Sep 20 2024 at 7:49AM on page 1 Suggestion A climbing wall on the exterior of the community center is low cost and great for health. It's become common in other community centers replies
