Parks in Upcountry, Kahului and Kihei are set to receive new playgrounds.

The county Department of Parks and Recreation announced this week that construction will begin Jan. 22 at Eddie Tam Memorial Center in Makawao.

Once the grubbing and grading are completed, construction will begin on playgrounds at Kahului Park in Central Maui and Hale Piilani Park in Kihei.

All construction is expected to be completed by the end of summer 2027.

Each new playground will feature a main play area for children ages 5 to 12, with an adjacent toddler play section, as well as a shade structure, ADA pathways, seating areas, fall surfacing and auxiliary features.

During construction, the parks will remain open.
