HR 155 Hawaii House · 2026 Regular Session

REQUESTING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION TO INSTALL PERMANENT PICKLEBALL NETS AND COURT LIGHTING AT THE TENNIS COURTS AT KAMILOʻIKI COMMUNITY PARK.

This House Resolution requests the City and County of Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation to install permanent pickleball nets and court lighting at the tennis courts in Kamiloʻiki Community Park. The bill aims to address growing demand for pickleball facilities by converting existing tennis courts to accommodate the sport, which has seen rapid national growth. It also seeks to extend court hours into the evening through the addition of lighting, allowing residents to play after work and during shorter winter days. The resolution directs the department to consult with community members regarding the design and implementation of these improvements.
