Pahoa or Puna does need a wonderful park like this for many good reasons. We have taken our kids to some of the nicer parks in hilo to have parties or even BBQ. Unfortunately we have a growing homeless population who also tend to sleep, drink alcoholic beverages, use drugs, and spread diseases at these types of places.
What could this $ 54,000,000 dollar park in Pahoa do for our homeless? OR for our keiki to have areas clean and safe from these issues that are bothersome at other parks island wide?. I believe if the county builds this park They will come, just who is they?. It shouldn't matter for that much money the park should have services for all community members including possible shelters for those who may really need them?. It would also be nice to have an area to hold things like car washes for all the fund raising these kids need to do during the year just to be able to play?. Maybe this would be to much to ask for, or to practical for Puna?.
