National Park Service. 1976. Final environmental statement Proposed master plan for City of Refuge National Park, Hawai`i. National Park Service. Kona, Hawaii
City of Refuge National Historical Park on the Island of Hawaii currently encompasses 181.85 acres. Its most distinctive feature is the place of refuge or in Hawaiian, pu`uhonua. This significant remnant of Hawaii's history is being managed and interpreted by the National Park Service. The primary goal of the master plan is preservation of the historic remains, while at the same time be enjoyed by an optimum number of visitors in a setting that will, as nearly as possible, retain the atmosphere of historic Hawaii. Integral to all aspects of the master plan is the proposal to extend the park boundary to include a total of 204 acres of new land and 112 acres of water area. Added to the existing acreage of 181.85, the resulting total area would be about 498 acres. The expanded park will include additional associated historic resources as well as space for development of new facilities.
