URGENT UPDATE: The newly upgraded Lānaʻi Fifth Street Courts in Maui County are set to reopen today, marking a significant enhancement for local sports enthusiasts. Following extensive renovations that began in January 2023, the facility is now ready to accommodate community members eager to engage in sports like basketball, volleyball, tennis, and pickleball.

The County of Maui Department of Parks and Recreation has confirmed that these upgrades aim to provide safe, high-quality recreational spaces for residents. The renovated courts feature improved accessibility and usability, ensuring everyone in the community can benefit from the enhanced facilities.
