Friends of Kamalani & Lydgate Park

What We Do

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

Who We Are

We are a group of community volunteers, including visitors to our island, who gather every Saturday morning to work together at beach cleanup to maintain and preserve Lydgate Beach Park.  We come from all walks of life to work together to mālama the island we love.

When work is done, we sit and enjoy coffee, water, and a variety of snacks and enjoy community time together.
