Waimea Cook Field to be closed for improvement, repair project

Construction will begin next week, weather permitting, as part of a $3.2 million capital improvement project at Waimea Cook Field in Waimea.

Staging for the project will begin March 10. The facility will close the same day and remain shuttered during construction, which is expected to continue until January 2026.

Tennis courts will remain closed for the entire duration of the project.

The project includes repairs to the rock wall foundation of the tennis courts; removing and replacing deteriorated court surfaces; painting new court surfaces and sports lines, with two courts dedicated to tennis and two courts designated for mixed use of tennis and pickleball; replacing fences and gates; installing new tennis nets; repairing the retaining rock wall; and replacing fluorescent lights with light-emitting diode, or LED, fixtures.

Rock retaining walls surrounding the park perimeter also will be repaired.

Parking along the west side of Ola Road, from the tennis courts to Kaumuali‘i Highway, will be closed to the public during the project. Parking along Tsuchiya Road adjacent to the tennis courts will also be off-limits.

The construction staging area will be located along the left-field side of the park, below the tennis courts.
