Kakaako May Get Fairgrounds Complex


Billy Balding has announced that he has arranged a lease of a 3-acre parcel in Kakaako from landowner Kamehameha Schools and hopes to build a year-round fairgrounds complex on the site. The lot is located near the Kakaako Makai Gateway Park and Balding plans to build a stationary surfing way, a skateboard park, a go-kart track, a miniature golf course, a rock-climbing wall, kiddie carnival rides and offer food and refreshments. The project still needs to obtain a development permit from the Hawaii Community Development Authority, the state agency that governs development in Kakaako and Balding still has to finalize the project details with Kamehameha Schools. However, if leasing and permitting goes through, Balding has stated that he would like to open his fairgrounds complex by this summer.
