Pūpūkea Beach Park comfort station reopened following renovations
Pūpūkea – The comfort station at Pūpūkea Beach Park near Shark’s Cove is now open following a renovation project which made numerous improvements to the structure.
Those improvements included: the demolition and reconstruction of the old wooden roof, replacing the structure’s electrical system, adding new security gates and doors, installing skylights, and repainting. An elastomeric roof coating was also applied to the improved roof, which will help protect the renovations from weathering.
Damage from termites, wood rot, and an aging electrical system made these improvements a priority.
The restroom facility was closed to the public on February 21, 2017 to begin the project. Portable toilets and the outdoor shower near the facility were available while construction was conducted.
The $391,227 contract for the project was completed by MEI Corporation.
Mahalo to the community and the park visitors while these repairs were conducted. We hope this renovated facility will serve everyone well for years to come.
