The Waimea Trails and Greenways project (WTG) is being implemented by the Waimea Trails and Greenways Committee of the Waimea Preservation Association, under the leadership of Clem Lam, a local architect.
The Trail will create a green corridor through the heart of Waimea along the Waikoloa Stream and will provide an accessible connecting pathway between residences, businesses & schools. The trail will generally extend along the stream from South Kohala View Estates on the west through Waimea Nature Park (Ulu La'au) to the state land north of Church Row on the east.
The committee is currently negotiating easements with the seven landowners through whose property the trail will extend. In town, a portion of the proposed route follows the north bank of the stream through property owned by the Parker School Trust Cooperation (behind the KTA Shopping Center). The project includes a 17 acre trailhead/picnic/parking area to be located on state land near the Waimea Transfer Station.
