Input needed for new pool and recreation center in Kahuku

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Before a new pool and recreation center can be built on Oahu’s North Shore, the city needs to hear from you.

A public meeting is scheduled September 26 to gather input on designs for the project at Kahuku District Park.

The meeting will run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Kahuku Elementary cafeteria.

The city says the meeting will begin with a talk story session to discuss background and logistics, then attendees will be able to break out into smaller groups to explore possible designs.

A follow-up meeting is scheduled at the cafeteria October 29.

The city says another public announcement with additional details about the October meeting will be made.

In November 2023, the City announced the release of $1.5 million in funding for the planning and development of the pool and recreation center. The Parks and Recreation department says funding will include detailed architectural plans, engineering, and environmental assessments.

Honolulu City Councilmember Matt Weyer and AES Hawaii also pledged $5 million for the project.
