Improvements under way at Pupukea Beach Park

Advertiser Staff

North Shore beachgoers are getting good news: The city is wrapping up a renovation and repair job at the Pupukea Beach Park restrooms at Shark's Cove this week.

The makeover includes repairing and replacing plumbing fixtures, painting, application of a sealant to make the facility easier to clean, and minor repairs. Skylights will be installed by the end of this month to brighten the interior.

Mayor Mufi Hannemann announced in April that the City would be expanding the park renovation program to the North Shore.

"I'm happy we were able to make-over one of our older facilities at one of our most popular beach parks on the North Shore," Hannemann said.

He said his top Cabinet officials plan a community work day on Aug. 4 at Waimea Beach Park to clean up and perform minor repairs. Hannemann said the project is similar to one last summer at Ma'ili Beach Park.

Soldiers from the Army at Schofield Barracks will be helping that day to clean up other parks along the coast, he said. "We invite community organizations to volunteer."
