Pohoiki park opening announced
Friday, January 25, 2008 at 09:29AM 
< A quiet morning
Another big event for Puna announced this week is the official opening of the long-awaited improvements at the Pohoiki coastline county recreational area.
A blessing and pā‘ina celebrating the first phase of park improvements is slated for 10 a.m. February 9. Kua Ka Lā Public Charter School will be helping with the imu, and providing the tents, tables and chairs, along with giving the opening chant and blessing the food.
Mayor Harry Kim , C ouncilwoman Naeole , and Parks and Recreation Director Engelhard are expected to say a few words at the February 9 event. Representatives from the Isaac Hale family have been extended an invitation. The public is invited to share in the festivities.
The construction barricades, orange cones and yellow tape all should be removed this weekend, according to the 5th District office press release.
Elsewhere in the release is interesting praise for the work that Councilwoman Emily Naeole's predecessor, Gary Safarik, did in helping to develop the park, which is valid and gracious but surprising in that I've never heard Naeole talk like that about her former opponent. She repeated it on KHBC's Mynah Bird show today and added that she always supported Gary. Huh?
Anyway, I wonder whether the County will pass up the opportunity to put a new name on Pohoiki now that it's so well invested in the park. Well, funny I would bring that up because I have a suggestion. Why not rename it the new Harry K. Brown Park at Pohoiki?

Restrict tailgate parking like we was all used to?
When they begin charging for the parking that will be an improvement too yea?
Sometimes it's best to leave things alone.
Funny the picture shows none of the concrete or asphalt or barriers?
Keep Puna Rural
I'm not for needless bulldozing, or clearing old growth natve forest, but what they've done at Pohoiki is great.
Left untouched, it would soon be albezia and other junk stuff.
Thanks Emily and Gary and Harry, and yes, even you Pat.
Oh but the asphalt looks better, you're right.
The sidewalks where we used to be able to park in under the tress is cut off, looks more like a walk you'd find near a resort, with showers, (that I'll bet anyone won't last very long) and of course some day they will charge to park in that lot.
But hey it will go well with the new hotel they're gonna build down there too, right?
KEEPING PUNA RURAL
doesn't mean paving new areas.
They've got safe parking where there's less danger of children running out in front of boneheads in one ton trucks.
They've installed new restrooms and showers to replace the portapotties and hosepipes that have been there for years.
There will soon be county lifeguards at the site for the safety of all.
They've landscaped the area with lovely walkways, picnic tables, open green space, native trees, and did I forget to mention, safe parking?
That damned County. They really screwed up Pohoiki this time. I guess you won't be hanging around. Too bad.
