Po`ip0 Beach Park improvements complete
PO`IPO — The Department of Parks and Recreation is announcing that improvements
to a Po`ipu Beach Park project are now complete.
The Po'ipu project was part of the DOPR's "Super Parks" initiative in an effort to
upgrade its heavily used park facilities. The initiative began with the refurbishment of the
structures at Lydgate Beach Park, and it is part of Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr.'s Holo Holo
2020 vision for Kaua'i.
"The County of Kauai and the Department of Parks and Recreation would like to
thank the public for your patience," said Director of Parks and Recreation Lenny Rapozo.
"This completes the work at Po'ipu Beach Park that started with the renovation of the west
comfort station as part of our efforts to transform our high -user parks into `super parks."'
The scope of work included replacing fixtures in the main comfort station and
improvements to the pavilions, playground, and showers. Pacific Blue Construction was
awarded an approximately $670,000 contract for the project.
