Kaua‘i County Department of Parks and Recreation announces that the dual-use tennis and pickleball courts as well as basketball courts at Bryan J. Baptiste Sports Complex in Kapa‘a will be closed for resurfacing from March 17 through September, weather permitting.
The work is part of the county’s $3.1 million Playcourt Resurfacing Project, which also includes improvements at Wailua Homesteads, Wailua Houselots Park and Pūhi Park.
Also known as Kapa‘a New Park, the complex is located at 4536 Olohena Road. It is named after the late Bryan J. Baptiste (https://kauai.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=1508&meta_id=77583), who served as Kaua’i County mayor from 2002 until his death in 2008.
Mayor Baptiste had a dream of improving the more than 5-decades-old complex, which until the 1970s hosted Pop Warner football games, and making it a permanent home field for Kapa‘a High School. He set that dream in motion as mayor in 2006 with the help of Leadership Kaua‘i’s adult class and countless others.
The 18-acre district park complex is now home to a Little League field, baseball field, football field, lighted softball field, lighted roller hockey rink, basketball court, the dual-use tennis and pickleball courts and comfort stations.
Parks and Recreation thanks the public for its patience and understanding as work proceeds at Bryan J. Baptiste Sports Complex and at other parks included in the county’s Playcourt Resurfacing Project.
Additional updates on the Playcourt Resurfacing Project include:
Resurfacing work at the basketball and dual-use tennis and pickleball courts at Wailua Homesteads is complete and the courts are open.
Work at the Wailua Houselots tennis and pickleball courts also is finished and the courts are open.
Construction is ongoing at the Wailua Houselots basketball court and expected to be completed by April 9.
Work at the Pūhi Park tennis and basketball courts is also ongoing, with an expected completion date of June 13.
