About The Lanikai Association

Residents or homeowners living in Lanikai or its sphere of influence who believe it is important to preserve Lanikai's quality of life are welcome to join. Local business owners are also welcome. 

See Join LA for an application form to become a LA member.

Our monthly newsletter, the Lanikite, is a cohesive force for LA members, keeping them informed of city issues and events and focused on the purposes of the organization. Editorials often (but not always) express the opinion of LA members.

Meetings

Board Meetings are held regularly on the first Monday of the month; if that day is a holiday, the meeting is held on the following Monday at the Lanikai community meeting room. All meetings are open to the public and often feature speakers of local interest. 

LA members are represented on the Kailua Neighborhood Board.  Board members review and carefully evaluate issues under consideration by the City Council and Planning Commission and regularly attend these meetings. They often speak for the board on issues of importance to residents.

Lanikai Community Park

One of the most important functions of the Lanikai Association is the maintenance of the community park and its associated facilities which are frequently used by both young and old for soccer, baseball, basketball, volleyball, and picnics. The fenced children's playground area included swings, slides and other equipment.

The Lanikai park facilities can be rented to families and groups for birthday parties, weddings and other celebrations.  For your next family or social gathering call Alan Lui for all the details at 753-4811.  Association members get special rates. 

Civic Involvement

Scout troops and the Lanikai Canoe Club are a few groups supported by the Lanikai Association.  The Lanikai Association also provides support to the Honolulu Theater for Youth which holds plays at the park.   LA also provides financial support for recycling, storage building for local sports activities and Keiki Halloween and Christmas parties.  Donations of communications equipment to a volunteer security group in Kailua area is part of our dedication to local safety.  We also provide meals for the workers who maintain Lanikai Point.

Social Events

The semi-annual Craft Fair was started over twenty years ago to raise money to help cover operating costs for the park facilities. This has evolved into a very successful event with a large attendance of both vendors and customers. The Craft Fair has replaced the old luaus as the association's major fund raising event.

A lively group of marching Lanikai Association members wearing colorful costumes is a popular feature of the city's annual Woe's parade and New Year's breakfast.
