City officials have scheduled a two-week closure of Lualalualei Beach Park in Waianae next month for maintenance and repairs.
The closure from Sept. 4 to 18 will affect a nearly half-mile stretch of shoreline along the coast — from “Sewers,” at the bathroom across from Waianae Wastewater Treatment Plant to “Middles,” by the parking lot near Ala Poko Street.
City park crews will conduct landscaping, brush clearing and irrigation repairs, along with upkeep of the vehicular gates. There will also be extensive cleaning of the park by Honolulu Parks staff assisted by other city crews and community volunteers.
Signs will be posted, along with fencing to delineate closed areas.
The beach park is expected to reopen on Thursday, Sept. 19. Permitted camping will resume at the park’s campground on Friday, Sept. 20.

Those interested can meet at 7:30 a.m. at the Waianae Mall parking lot and should wear covered shoes, gloves, hat and sun protection. Clean-up supplies water, and bentos will be provided.
