The City and nonprofit Hawai‘i Kyudo Foundation are relocating to build a Japanese archery range.

The National ParkScore Index is an annual list run by the Trust for Public Land that ranks parks in the 100 most populous cities in the U.S. based on access, equity, acreage, investment and amenities.

Honolulu’s director of botanical gardens, Joshlyn Sand, shares updates on the cleanup efforts at Ho‘omaluhia Botanical Garden in Kāneʻohe following the Kona low storms.

A kyudojo project has run into opposition from some Kaimukī residents who say there was a lack of transparency and public input. HPR's Cassie Ordonio has more.

Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden will be periodically closed from Nov. 24 to Dec. 19 for road repairs.

Kaimukī's Mauʻumae Nature Park will be a new spot for the traditional Japanese practice of kyudo, a blend of archery and self-discipline.

The City and County of Honolulu's Department of Parks and Recreation is asking for community feedback through O‘ahu’s neighborhood boards to help determine which parks should expand on-leash dog privileges.

Reservations start on April 23 for the popular family fishing program at Ho‘omaluhia Botanical Garden in Kāneʻohe on Oʻahu.

Dozens of palm trees along Oʻahu’s shoreline have been cut down to prevent further damage caused by invasive coconut rhinoceros beetles. A city spokesperson said the situation will get worse before it gets better. As HPR's Mark Ladao learned, an infestation of one or a handful of trees results in an issue for an entire neighborhood.

The Summer Fun program is the largest of its kind in the state with 60 locations on Oʻahu. The program began in 1944 to provide positive engagement of children during World War II.
