(O‘AHU) – A project to improve security for the comfort station (bathroom building) at Pōka‘ī Bay Beach Park is scheduled to begin on Monday, Feb. 27.
The project includes adding metal barriers to the top of the existing, masonry wall, thereby making unauthorized access into the bathroom more difficult. The current wall is just over seven-feet tall.
The installation of the barriers will require the closure of the building and the bathrooms for the duration of the project. The bathrooms are currently scheduled to reopen in April 2023.
Portable toilets will be provided while the comfort station is closed. The beach showers are not expected to be impacted by the project.
The $321,100 construction contract for this project was awarded to Kaikor Construction Group, Inc.
We appreciate the patience and understanding of the park users while this facility is closed for construction.
