Visitors and locals should be on the lookout for upcoming closures at a popular Windward Oʻahu destination, starting next Monday.
Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden will be periodically closed from Nov. 24 to Dec. 19 to have its roads repaved.
The park will still be open to visitors on some days, but certain areas and parking lots will be off limits following this schedule:
- Monday, Nov. 24 – Wednesday, Nov. 26: Kahua Nui to Kahua Hau closed
- Dec. 1 – 5: Kahua Hau to Kahua Kuou closed
- Dec. 8 – 19: Full garden closure, repaving from Kahua Kuou to Luluku Road
The entire 650-acre garden will be closed from Dec. 8 to 19 to pave the final part of the access road.
Recreational activities like fishing and camping in the gardens have been suspended and will resume in 2026.
Honolulu’s Department of Parks and Recreation said this project could take longer than expected, depending on the weather.
The public recently took part in a three-week poll to close Hoʻomaluhia for a day of rest on Thursdays beginning Jan. 8, 2026.
Updates and a full breakdown of what areas will be open can be found on the Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden’s website.
