The first-ever skatepark on Lanai will open on March 29, with a blessing ceremony and party. 

A blessing ceremony for Lanai Skatepark and Lanai Youth Center will take place at 11 a.m.

Maui County Department of Parks and Recreation Director Patrick McCall and Maui County Councilmember Gabe Johnson will speak at the ceremony. 

After the blessing, One Love Skate will host a skate jam with music, games, contest and prizes.

The skatepark and youth center result from a collective vision, shaped by community input, supported by County leaders, and brought to life via Bowers and Kubota Consulting, California Skateparks, F&H Construction, Maui Architectural Group Inc. and DPR’s Planning and Development Division.
