The Honolulu’s Department of Parks and Recreation announced phased building improvements at Waianae District Park will begin this week, according to a news release. 

Crews will make improvements to the park’s recreation building and Shinyei Nakamine Gymnasium Complex. The facilities will be closed during their respective phases. 

The project will first focus on the park’s recreation building, with the replacement of the facility’s roof. Other improvements to the building include bathroom upgrades (such as improved ADA accessibility), LED lighting conversion, interior & exterior painting, and replacement of the flooring, ceiling tiles, window screens, damaged doors, and downspouts. 

City officials expect work on the recreation building to be finished by Fall 2025. 

After the upgrades to the recreation building are completed, crews will begin working on improvements to the Shinyei Nakamine Gymnasium Complex. 

MJ Construction was awarded the $3,464,000 construction contract for the project, while WTN Architecture received the $317,592 consultant contract.
