A community effort that began two years ago has turned Kapa'a's home field of dreams on Kaua'i into a reality.

The home field at Kapa'a New Town Park now has portable bleachers, an 8-foot-high fence and its first scheduled event.

"They're scheduled to complete the fencing project by June 1, in time for Kapa'a High School's graduation, which will be the first big event held at the stadium," said Soncy Tamashiro, a member of the Leadership Kaua'i group that took on the challenge two years ago of facilitating the construction of a home field at Kapa'a New Town Park.

"A lot of work on the Kapa'a home field is being done pro bono, including designing the locker rooms and irrigation and septic systems," Tamashiro said.

Na Ha Ewalu (The Breath of Eight) is the group spearheading the project. Members are John Cox, Michelle Lizama, Corey Nakamura, Char Ravelo, Matthew Taba, Caroline Texeira, William Trugillo and Tamashiro.
