K-VIBE is an Active Living by Design program sponsored by Kokua Kalihi Valley with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Eki Cyclery, the City and County of Honolulu , the Hawaii Bicycling League, and good people of Kalihi.
On 100 acres of public land that have been designated for park development for more than 25 years, Kokua Kalihi Valley, a non-profit community organization, proposes to develop the Kalihi Valley Nature Park and Active Living Center. The project will include the restoration of 2 existing homes, creation of as many as 20 acres of community and native Hawaiian gardens, preserved and restored ancient Hawaiian agricultural walls and terraces, the creation of new walking paths and hiking trails, a nature camp with a bunk house and a tent camping area. Currently the site is overgrown with exotic species. Over time, exotic plants will be removed and native species restored. One of the existing homes will be renovated and serve as a resident caretaker's quarters, a meeting place and a Watershed Education Center. The Park and Center will be privately operated but open to the public as a place of quiet recreation, nature studies, health education and the preservation of Hawaiian culture.
