Advertiser Staff

Maui County officials yesterday reopened the skate park at Kalama Park in the South Maui District following damage caused by recent storms.

Kama'ole Point and Baldwin Beach Park are scheduled to be reopened today. However, the restrooms and pavilion at Baldwin will remain closed until further notice while assessments and repairs are made.

Kalepolepo Park is scheduled to reopen Monday. The ground still needs to dry out further in order to stabilize the kiawe trees in the park.

    ORDNANCE CLEARED FROM MAUI RESERVE

    The state reopened the 'Ahihi-Kina'u Natural Area Reserve on Maui Thursday afternoon after the area was cleared of unexploded ordnance by the 706th Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company from Schofield Barracks, The Maui News reported.

    A road to the reserve first was closed Nov. 30 after a sweep of the reserve by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers discovered four objects of unexploded ordnance in lava fields, said Department of Land and Natural Resources spokeswoman Deborah Ward.
