The city will hold a final public meeting on the Ala Moana Regional Park Master Plan at 6 p.m. Jan. 29 at the McCoy Pavilion Auditorium.
The master plan outlines a variety of short- and long-term projects and park improvements to restore, revitalize and enhance the 119-acre facility.
While the initial possibilities being bandied about included eye-raising ideas such as a beer garden, the final master plan calls for less dramatic improvements.
They include sand replenishment and long-term beach nourishment, reconfiguring the park’s parking layout without the loss of stalls, repaving Ala Moana Park Drive, renovating McCoy Pavilion and an accompanying courtyard, widening pedestrian access over the existing drainage canal at Piikoi and Queen streets, improving the park road that crosses to the
canoe launch ramp near
the Ala Wai Boat Harbor,
expansion of the promenades along Ala Moana
Park Drive and Ala Wai
Boat Harbor, increasing
access to the raised, central areas, improving and hard-scaping pond edges, and incorporating a multi-use facility into the lawn bowling area.
The public is also encouraged to view the Environmental Impact Statement Preparation Notice online
at bit.ly/2DJEau8. The
ouralamoanapark.com site will be available for the public to provide comment up until the Jan. 29 meeting, and will be discontinued
after that.
