Bill > HCR17

This concurrent resolution urges the Department of Parks and Recreation of the City and County of Honolulu to enhance the safety, accessibility, and variety of playground equipment across all city and county parks. The resolution highlights the importance of active play for children's development, including cognitive, motor, and social skills, and notes that modern playgrounds in other parts of the United States often feature inclusive equipment, nature-based structures, and adaptive elements for children of all abilities. It points out that many existing playgrounds in Honolulu lack these modern amenities, have outdated or worn equipment, and may not be accessible to all children, potentially impacting physical activity, outdoor learning, and increasing injury risks. Therefore, the resolution advocates for improvements to create high-quality, safe, and inclusive play spaces that benefit the entire community and support healthy lifestyles.
