HCR 165 Hawaii House · 2026 Regular Session

REQUESTING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION TO INSTALL PERMANENT PICKLEBALL NETS AND COURT LIGHTING AT THE TENNIS COURTS AT KAMILOʻIKI COMMUNITY PARK.

This bill requests that the City and County of Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation install permanent pickleball nets and lighting at the tennis courts in Kamiloʻiki Community Park. The measure aims to address growing demand for pickleball by allowing residents to play without bringing their own equipment and enabling evening play through the addition of court lighting. The resolution also encourages the department to consult with community members when planning the specific design and placement of these improvements. This action would expand recreational opportunities at an existing public facility without constructing new infrastructure.
