Hawaiian Paradise Park Cultural Preservation Committee is dedicated to protecting, preserving and educating about culturally significant areas within Hawaiian Paradise Park.

The following information is outdated and does not reflect the mission, objectives, and goals of the current committee. The committee is currently reviewing it and will post a revised version as soon as it is approved.

Objective:

The Hawaiian Paradise Park Owners Association Cultural Preservation Committee is to follow through on the recommendations made by Paul Rosendahl, PhD in 1985 and reflected in the HPP Master Plan as early as 1997. The Master Plan has been adopted into the Hawaii County General Plan.

Goals:

1) Prepare an inventory of the archaeological features present with written descriptions, GPS points, maps, and photographs (archaeological survey);
2) Garner a basic understanding of the form and function variation represented by the identified features;
3) Determine how best to preserve and protect the site and all features/remains for further study;
4) Sketch plans to use the archaeological resources for public education and recreation.

We do expect this process to develop into a community stewardship initiative because of the site’s value in understanding pre-contact life and culture.

Mission Statement:

To protect and preserve the previously recorded archeological sites within HPPOA from further development without membership approval and to perpetuate cultural awareness and education of Hawaiʻi’s culture.
