Is Ala Moana Regional Park a safe place for your family?
I told a lifeguard at the park about screams coming from 1C tower. He told me it happens all the time and gave me an earful. He ended with, “I will never bring my family to this park!”
Needles are everywhere. Dog bites are frequent because there are more dogs. Dog feces buried in the sand. Swimmers and paddlers collide. Fishermen and swimmers fight for space. Fishhooks in the sand. Homeless people beg for food or money. Cars are broken into or damaged. Soap and shampoo in ocean waters impact marine life. Inattentive lifeguards. No police in sight.
Ala Moana Beach Park is not safe for your family.
Governor, Mayor, Honolulu Police Department: Please fix these problems!
