Hawaii State Parks Projects

This program area within the Division of State Parks oversees capital improvement projects and facility development at Hawaii's 52 state parks, monuments, and recreation areas across all islands. It manages planning, design, and construction of park facilities including trails, comfort stations, interpretive signs, and visitor centers. Projects are funded through state capital improvement program appropriations and federal grants.

Hawaii's state parks — from Iolani Palace to Waimea Canyon — are among the state's most visited public spaces, and capital investment decisions determine their condition and accessibility. Hikers, campers, and park users can advocate for improvements through public input processes and legislative engagement.
