H.A. Baldwin Park. PC: County of Maui

The County of Maui Department of Parks and Recreation launched a virtual open house for community members to participate in the H.A. Baldwin Park Adaptation Plan, which will help guide future park improvements and land stewardship. The virtual open house is open now until Dec. 6, 2026.

To view the open house, visit www.mauicounty.gov/3219/2026-HA-Baldwin-Park-Adaptation-Plan and scroll down to the H.A. Baldwin Park homepage link.

The online open house allows community members to:

  • Provide input on potential adaptation strategies that could be used to support adaptation to coastal vulnerabilities, as well as input on where future park facilities should be located within the park footprint
  • View a presentation and download the slides
  • Comment on the map and adaptation strategies
  • View and comment on the 2019 Interim Master Plan for H.A. Baldwin Park 

The adaptation plan provides an opportunity to continue to shape how Baldwin can serve the needs of the local community while adapting to sea-level rise and other coastal hazards.

A community meeting is scheduled for March 3, 2027, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Pā‘ia Community Center to present the draft adaptation plan, which is being completed by DPR and project consultant SSFM International. The public will be invited to review and comment on the draft plan before it is finalized in summer 2027.

From 2018 through 2020, DPR worked with consultants and community members to develop the interim H.A. Baldwin Park master plan. After severe weather destroyed the park pavilion and increased coastal hazards impacted the coastline, planners saw the need to update information in the master plan. Also, related Alexander & Baldwin land was acquired since 2014, highlighting the need for stewardship.
