Miniature golf, botanical gardens and a nursery planned for Kilauea

A small group of North Shore residents is working to build and operate a multi-use facility in Kilauea that would include an interactive miniature golf course, botanical gardens, nursery and park-and-ride bus stop.

The goal is to create an “agro-communal space” where adults and children can come together to learn about and engage in ecological sustainability and cultural awareness, county documents show.

The county Planning Commission yesterday (Nov. 14, 2008) received the planning director’s preliminary report recommending the seven-member appointed body approve the requested permits, with certain conditions, for Anaina Hou’s proposed agricultural and recreational center on 15 acres northwest of the Kuhio Highway and Kolo Road intersection.

“It gives something for kids to do,” said Anaina Hou’s Michael Kaplan, of Kilauea.

If approved, the miniature golf course will be 18 holes that weave through water features and botanical gardens, county documents show. It will operate from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week.
