Baldwin Beach Park reopens after pavilion is removed

The Maui News

WAILUKU–Baldwin Beach Park was reopened on Friday, after work to remove the park pavilion was completed, according to a Friday announcement by the County of Maui Department of Parks and Recreation.

The pavilion was irreparably damaged over time by high surf and rising sea levels.

After the department received an emergency Special Management Area (SMA) permit, work to remove the pavilion began Wednesday, Sept. 25. By Thursday, Sept. 26, the pavilion was removed and area sand was sifted.

SMA permits are required for shoreline work to ensure environmental protection protocols and best practices are used.

“We appreciate the community’s cooperation and understanding as we address the impacts of climate change on our coastal infrastructure,” said Patrick McCall, Director of the County Department of Parks and Recreation.
