Friends of Kamalani & Lydgate Park
Every October, Friends of Kamalani and Lydgate Park come together as a community to observe Make A Difference Day.
Saturday, October 21st, we invite you to come share your aloha by helping us preserve and maintain Lydgate Beach Park. We meet in the main pavilion of Lydgate State Park at 7:30 a.m. with coffee and pastries for registration before we start.
Your energy and aloha spirit make the tasks a breeze as we work as a community maintaining the Kamalani Playground, clearing debris from Lydgate Park beaches, and performing maintenance of the play bridge at the South end of the park!

About the organizer
Twice a year, Friends of Kamalani hosts two community workdays: Earth Day & Make A Difference Day where our focus is the maintenance and preservation of the entire park.
Each and every Saturday morning from 8:30-10:30, a group of community “friends” gather to clean up the beach at the Lydgate Beach Park swimming ponds. Looking for something to do that is rewarding and gives back to Kauaʻi? Come join our community volunteers on Saturday.
Some of the things we do:
1) Cleaning up the beach area by the Morgan Ponds swimming areas
2) Cleaning up and removal of plant debris from the Heiaus – Hauola Heiau trees and bushes
3) Park beautification with trash and litter pickup from the park
4) Creation, repairs, and maintenance of “beach furniture” made from debris
5) Watering of the grass as needed
6) Enjoy snacks, coffee, and water at the end of work
Join us in making new friends, and hanging out with old friends, as we mālama our beloved island of Kauaʻi
