County to accept fall recreational permit applications

Applications to use county recreational facilities during the fall season will be accepted from May 2-9, the county Department of Parks and Recreation announced Thursday.

Triannual permit applications for leagues, schools and recreational programs will be accepted for the use of pools, gyms, fields, stadiums and tennis courts during the activity period of Aug. 1 to Dec. 31.

Applicants are highly encouraged to request assistance with completing applications and can make a phone appointment by calling (808) 2707389 during office hours from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday.

To reduce delays in processing times for permit applicants, the department is requesting submissions via email only at DPRPermits@mauicounty .gov. If hard copies are the only alternatives, they may be dropped off at the War Memorial Complex main permit office drop box, located through the metal gate on the sidewalk next to the Coach Soichi Sakamoto Pool.

Complete applications will be accepted from 8 a.m. May 2 through noon May 9. Late or unfinished applications will not be considered. Due to tight processing times, applications cannot be accepted via postal mail.

Permits issued will be subject to current Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention guidelines and any other public health rules, the county said. Permits are subject to cancellation and may also be modified or rescinded when necessary to comply with health rules.

Application packets will be available by request via email and online at mauicounty.gov /parks.
