URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY, ACCESSIBILITY, AND VARIETY OF PLAYGROUND FEATURES OF PLAYGROUNDS AT ALL CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU PARKS.

This House Resolution (HR 18) urges Honolulu's Department of Parks and Recreation to upgrade playgrounds across all city parks. It specifically calls for improvements in safety (e.g., modern equipment, better surfacing), accessibility (ensuring play features accommodate children of all abilities), and variety (adding diverse play options like nature-based structures). The resolution directly affects all children and families using Honolulu's public parks by promoting safer, more inclusive play spaces. It does not create new laws but encourages the city to prioritize these updates based on current playground deficiencies.
