A park and gymnasium in Hilo are going to close on Monday, the county parks department said.
The Gilbert Carvalho Park and adjacent Piihonua Gymnasium need repairs, the department said, and are expected to be closed until December.
“Repairs will include replacing the gym, pavilion and restroom roofs, repainting the buildings, installing new light poles for the ball field and performing other electrical work,” the department wrote in a press release.
The goal is to protect park users from construction hazards, the department said, and will close the ball field, parking lots, keiki playground, pavilion and gymnasium.
