(Oahu)– Repaving of two City park parking lots and an access road used to reach the popular Koko Crater Tramway will require the brief closure of the facilities while work is being conducted.
The repaving of the entire Koko Head Park Road, on the mauka-end of Koko Head District Park, is scheduled from Tuesday, July 12 through Friday, July 15, weather permitting. This repaving will not impact the public parking lot, but will require the closure of the trailhead to the Koko Crater Tramway as access to the base of the tram requires traversing this road at some point.
“We really appreciate the public’s cooperation with the brief closure of this popular trail,” said Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation Director Laura H. Thielen. “The more the repaving crew can focus on their work, without disruption from wayward hikers, the quicker we can reopen the tramway. So please help spread the word about avoiding the trail for these four days.”
In addition to the repaving of the park road, parking lots at Wailupe Beach Park and Joe Lukela Beach Park are scheduled next week and will require the closure of the lots during the work. The repaving at Wailupe is scheduled for Thursday, July 14, and the work at Joe Lukela is scheduled for Friday, July 15. Both of these repaving projects are expected to be completed and the parking lots reopened the following day, weather permitting.
We appreciate the patience and understanding of park users while these facilities are closed for maintenance.
