STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3920

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.C.R. No. 165

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2026

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Energy and Intergovernmental Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 165 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION TO INSTALL PERMANENT PICKLEBALL NETS AND COURT LIGHTING AT THE TENNIS COURTS AT KAMILOʻIKI COMMUNITY PARK,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the City and County of Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation to install permanent pickleball nets and court lighting at the tennis courts located at Kamiloiki Community Park.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from two individuals.

Your Committee received testimony in opposition to this measure from the City and County of Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation and one individual.

Your Committee finds that the designated pickleball courts at Kamiloiki Community Park in Hawaii Kai serve as a shared place of movement and connection for families, keiki, adults, and kupuna. However, the lack of designated pickleball nets and adequate court lighting restricts access to these facilities for those individuals who aren't able to utilize them during the day. This measure will extend safe pickleball playing hours, increase accessibility, and maximize the utilization of this valued public space.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Energy and Intergovernmental Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 165, and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Energy and Intergovernmental Affairs,
