Just wandered down the "road" to Hakalau a couple days ago...another potentially nice park/picnic/beach/ocean access area kept inaccessible to most due to, yep, lead from the bridge overhead. Suppose Hakalau is doomed to never be opened again? It was scary leaving our car parked by the locked gate, hoping it wouldn't get vandalized during the 2/3 mile walk down and back.
Such a shame there could be really nice areas heading up the Hamakua coast to recreate, like on Kona side, or up Kohala coast like Mahukona, or in Ka'u like Honuapo (none fancy or "modern" but still accessible and usable, and with great historic significance and relics to check out), but on this side it's apparently just easier to do nothing and let these places get overgrown and deteriorate, and only the people living in the gated communities get to have shoreline access? (Like the kerfuffle going on by Pepeekeo Sugar Mill Shoreline Access?)
Aaaaand then there's Pohoiki...
Always asking (rhetorically)...why can't we have nice things too?
Sorry to ramble...my head talking.
