The County of Maui Department of Parks and Recreation will host a series of four community meetings later this month to discuss plans for County skate parks in Upcountry Maui and on Molokaʻi and Lānaʻi.

Parks staff and skate park design consultant, California Skateparks, will be on-hand at the meetings to receive community input on the conceptual designs for proposed skate parks.

The exact location of the proposed Upcountry skate park is yet to be determined.  The proposed location for the Molokaʻi skate park is at the Mitchell Pauole Center Complex in Kaunakakai; and the proposed location for the Lānaʻi skate park is at 5th Street Park in Lānaʻi City.
