Discover Nanawale Estates

Nanawale Estates can be placed in context for travel planning through its community facilities and a designated landscape feature. The Longhouse is located at the intersection of Nanawale Boulevard and Kehau Road. The Nanawale Community Association (NCA) offers a swimming pool; the community garden is behind the pool at the Longhouse. Two events with set dates in 2024 were also scheduled at the Longhouse. This gives you both specific local landmarks and a look back at past event dates.

Longhouse and Community Facilities

If you need information about renting the Longhouse facility, you can get it by contacting the Longhouse. Visitors to the NCA office, park, or swimming pool on the grounds may use the restrooms upon request. The contact information and restroom policy address different practical questions: renting applies to the facility, while restroom use is tied to visiting the specified NCA locations.

Swimming Pool: Hours and Access

The NCA swimming pool is currently open seven days a week. It may be used by eligible pass holders and their guests; this does not mean unrestricted public access. Each NCA pool pass allows up to two guests in addition to the holder's own family group. The daily opening schedule and the pass policy answer different planning questions: one describes the weekly schedule, the other who is allowed in. In 2023, the pool switched from chlorine to saltwater operation.

Community Garden and Events

Nanawale's community garden is behind the swimming pool at the Longhouse; the NCA invited people to take part. If you are interested in community gardening, this invitation is a specific point of reference. Its location also illustrates the garden's connection with the Longhouse and swimming pool.

The annual Nanawale Christmas Craft Fair was scheduled for Saturday, December 14, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Longhouse. Hawaiian coffee was among the products listed for the event. A Halloween trick-or-treat event was also scheduled at the Longhouse for October 31, 2024, from 5 to 7 p.m. The events differed in occasion and time slot: the Craft Fair was a six-hour daytime event on a Saturday, while the Halloween event was a two-hour evening event.

Landscape and Cultural Context

Ironwood Grove in Nanawale Park is designated as an example of natural beauty in the Puna District. This adds a landscape point of reference alongside the community facilities. The Pahoa Lava Zone Museum welcomed more than 10,000 residents and visitors in its first year. The two examples emphasize different things: Ironwood Grove provides a landscape perspective, while the museum's historical visitor count is a notable point of reference.

For current planning, the option to contact the Longhouse about renting it and the pool's access requirements are the most immediately practical details. The 2024 events, by contrast, offer a look back at a clearly defined period; Ironwood Grove adds the Puna District's landscape to the picture of Nanawale Estates.
