HONOLULU (AP) — A court-ordered report says new rules are needed for use of popular Kapiolani Park.
The report says the park is a special case and needs its own rules and regulation to control art sales, craft fairs and other events that have raised concerns about commercialization of the public park.
Officials are concerned about legal challenges to events in the park.
The Probate Court report was prepared by attorney Bruce Graham following a request by the City Council.
Graham determined that existing events do not violate the park's public nature because they are considered cultural exhibits even though they may make sales.
Michelle Matson, president of the Kapiolani Park Advisory Council, disagrees. She says exhibiters should not be allowed to make sales in the park.
