The Kohala Swimming Pool will reopen on Saturday, Aug. 12, following a seven-month closure due to mechanical issues.
The pool was initially closed on Jan. 12, 2022, due to numerous systems failures in the pump room.
“We are immensely grateful for the determination, resilience and unity shown by the Friends of Kohala Pool and the local community during this challenging period,” said Maurice Messina, director of the Department of Parks and Recreation.
Contributions by the Friends of Kohala Pool ranged from planning efforts to significant fundraising campaigns and hands-on construction work.
A reopening celebration will be held at the pool at 9:30 a.m. on Aug. 12.
Beginning Aug. 12, the pool’s schedule will be Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., and 2 p.m. to 5:45 p.m.
