Kapaa Skate Park Community project

 

Youth Pi`ina Hoku held a community paint project on February 3rd, 2007.  In an effort to deter vandalism the youth group decided to create appealing artwork for skate park users.  After polling local skaters and community members  for mural ideas, the project group enlisted community artists, Megan OConnell and Kalen Spear to help map out the artwork.  The result was a beautiful half pipe wave, the Hawaiian flag, the Hawaiian Islands, Reggae colors and a dedicated ramp for the skaters to paint  called the Expression Session.  We are very proud of the community`s response to the artwork and the sense of ownership that it has generated for its users.  The youth group have also planned a skate contest in collaboration with the County of Kauai and Mevyn Clothing that was held on Saturday, March 31st.
