HAWAIʻI COUNTY ANNOUNCES REOPENING OF GYMNASIUMS AND COMMUNITY CENTERS
Hawaiʻi County announces the reopening of its County gymnasiums and community centers on November 1.
The Department of Parks and Recreation is also working toward reopening its senior centers, senior congregate
meal sites, and senior classes in January 2022.
“As case numbers continue to decline, we believe that it is time to begin our return to normalcy by getting our
community back into our gyms and recreations facilities,” said Mayor Mitch Roth. “We know that active
lifestyles contribute to a healthier immune system and can greatly improve our chances against the virus, and we
are excited to be able to get folks back to the activities they love most, safely. In addition, we are encouraging
organizations to apply for exemptions so that spectators may be allowed to enjoy from the stands.”
County gymnasiums and community centers will be available for scheduled, organized recreation activities, and
reservations are required. The Recreation Directors at each facility will work with the public on reservations,
sanitization protocols, and return-to-play safety plans.
For more information, including dates and times of availability, please contact the appropriate Parks and
Recreation facility directly, or contact the department’s recreation division at (808) 961-8740
