Lo’i Kalo Mini Park
About the organizer
For years, the park’s rich historical past sat buried, unknown to most, as layers of invasive California grass grew to conceal natural springs that spout water from the park to Kapālama Canal.
At least until Robert Silva began his work there two years ago.
Silva, an an automotive instructor at Honolulu Community College, arrives at the park, machete, chainsaw, or weed whacker in hand. He’s working to clear the weeds and create a loʻi kalo, the Hawaiian term for taro patch.
