Despite three notices from the city in less than a month, some campers at Mokule'ia Beach Park vowed they will not leave the only home they've known for years.

The city wants to clear campers out of the park by 7 p.m. Monday as it begins closing the North Shore park overnight, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily.

But at least two of the dozen or so families that camp there said they will not budge. One family said it has taken out a temporary restraining order against city officials and believes it will protect them from city action.

"I'm going to stand and fight," said Mary Jane Dalumpinis, who has lived at the park for four years. "I get the TRO and I going make sure that TRO go through. They try do anything to harass or harm me, that's a nice lawsuit."

The city issued a press release May 16 saying it would close the park from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily beginning Monday. The city cited the April demolition of the park's only restroom and the recommendation of the North Shore Neighborhood Board and the city's Park Board.

City spokesman Bill Brennan said he is aware of the TRO but didn't know any details about it.

Brennan said the plan is to remove any leftover possessions, but the city wouldn't know until Monday what would happen.

"I don't know if they'll move or not on Monday," Brennan said. "We'll see what's there, but our plan at the request of the neighborhood board and the Parks Board is to close the park at night at 7 p.m. starting the 16th."

Campers said they first heard about the closure at the end of May. On June 5 and yesterday they received additional notices.

The notices said that any personal property left behind that had no value would be discarded and any valuables would be held for 30 days to be claimed, Dalumpinis said.

Dalumpinis, 44, said the Waikiki Health Center has offered help in locating a place to stay. But she said even its "affordable" suggestions — $1,000 for a one-bedroom apartment — were beyond her $637-a-month income.

"The service they trying to give us is not the right services we need," she said. "We want to be put in a home ... but these guys are telling us we can only go into a shelter."

Marie Beltran, 45, has lived at the park for more than a decade and has faced removal at least six times. She was at the center of a Hawai'i Supreme Court ruling last November that said authorities could not use city camping laws to justify evicting tent-dwellers from parks because the rules were too vague.

Lester Chang, director of the city Department of Parks and Recreation, has said that the overnight closure has nothing to do with city and county camping rules.

He has said that by establishing closing hours, police can cite for trespassing, but that beach users would be able to cross the park to get to the shore.

Beltran said she's planning to stay and questioned whether the city truly owns the property.

"I'm going to hang, in my blanket right in the first parking lot," she said.

Dalumpinis said she's been on the wait list for subsidized housing for years, and for the city to kick them out is only making the situation worse.

"Instead of fixing the problem they adding to the problem," she said.
