Maps of Alakoko Fishpond for Our Workday
If you have been to Alakoko Fishpond, you will notice a few things have changed on the grounds in preparation for E Kū Ana Ka Paia! Groups will be shuttled to our Drop-off Point. From there, participants will walk down an access road to reach the Fishpond. Before entering, we ask that you stop by the Check-in Tent where Volunteers will verify that your Liability Waiver has been submitted.
There will be Hawaiian Music from 9am-11am at the Stage Area, where we will also be briefing folks on safety, and grouping participants with an Alaka’i and a Workday Team. Next, you’ll see food tents and restrooms. Across the way is our Kūpuna Team with family friendly activities.
Closer to where the hana will take place is our First Aid Tent. We are working with the Kauaʻi Fire Department to ensure everyone stays safe throughout the day. If you see someone hurt, bleeding, or in need of aid, please send them to see our First Responders. Let’s keep an eye out for each other!
Take a moment to review the maps, and share it with anyone who is joining you for the Workday. Let’s safely rebuild the wall together.

Interested in getting something printed on? Please bring one flat cotton item (canvas bags, t-shirt, hand cloth, etc.) and Nā Pua Noʻeau Kauaʻi will screen print a special design to commemorate this historical event!
We are asking you bring on one item per person, so that everyone has the opportunity to get an item printed to remember the day by. Mahalo for your understanding.
