The Kepaniwai Park’s Heritage Gardens was established in 1952 as a showcase for Maui’s diverse heritage, with ethnic homes and gardens representing the Hawaiian, Portuguese, Japanese, Caucasian and Filipino cultures.
In 1995, the Rotary Club of Kahului planted a Peace Pole in the park in observance of Rotary International’s 90th Anniversary and World Day of Peace (February 23, 1995). Club members are volunteers who work locally, regionally, and internationally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training, promote peace, and eradicate polio under the motto: Service Above Self.
The Community Work Day Program facilitates programs that educate, inspire, and empower individuals and communities to beautify and maintain Maui Nui’s environment which supports the economy, quality of life, and unique Hawaiian culture.
