The document outlines a restoration and enhancement plan for Ala Moana Regional Park presented at a public open house. Over 400 community members participated in public planning sessions to provide input. Key feedback included fixing current infrastructure, not commercializing the park, and making enhancements responsive to residents. The proposed plan includes renovating facilities, repairing paths and areas, adding trees and a playground, and improving safety. Renderings show plans to restore historic entries, pond edges, walkways, and areas like Magic Island while keeping the same number of stalls. Attendees could provide feedback and discuss specific plan elements.

Notes de l'éditeur
Project began over a year ago with
A hundred-year-old beach park showing it's age
A beloved community park, a family park, a locals park
Everyone has a story about Ala Moana
4 million visitors a year has taken a toll
To ensure a healthy Ala Moana for future generations, something had to be done
City hired BRV and team of 19 sub-consultants, 2/3 local firms, expertise across the board, for a plan
Kick-off workshop with 400+ participants
Public engaged in conversations, told stories, passionately instructed team on what to do and what not to do
Followed by 1 year+ of public engagement, meetings with hundreds of park users, nearly 60K web interactions, focus groups with a range of user groups
In first meeting, and subsequent outreach
over and over, same issues were heard:
Fix what we already have before new projects
Update existing infrastructure to better accommodate existing uses
Plan should respond to residents of the community
Retain local charm and historic nature of the park
In response to the public demand, City enacts 9-point plan to start immediate improvements
Meanwhile, the consultant team works on long term plan to help solve bigger issues facing the park’s future
