HOPE Services Hawaii joined residents of Na Kahua Hale O Ulu Wini Feb. 25 to break ground on an outdoor play space at the Ulu Wini housing complex in Kailua-Kona.
The $180,000 Miracle Mega Tower was made possible through a donation from the Roberts Foundation.
The 62- by 52-foot tower will feature four play structures including a heptagon double decker tower and water fountain, spiral and wave slides, a fish bridge, play panels and climbing apparatus including stairs, risers, ladders and a fossil bluff climbing wall. The play structures, with the exception of the water fountain, will be covered with recycled steel roofing or commercial grade fabric umbrellas.
Volunteers from Lake Mead Christian Academy and residents from Ulu Wini will help with construction of the playground, which is expected to be complete by the end of March.
