Mauna Kea State Recreation Area also known as Mauna Kea State Park , is a state of Hawaii protected area at the southern base of Mauna Kea .
The 20.5-acre (8.3 ha ) park is administered by the Hawai'i Department of Land and Natural Resources .
The park is located on Saddle Road (Route 200) 35 miles (56 km ) west of Hilo , at 19°44′57 ″N 155°31′35 ″W / 19.74917°N 155.52639°W / 19.74917; -155.52639 with about 6,500 feet (2,000 m ) elevation. Facilities include restrooms, cabins and camping, trash cans, and a picnic area.[1] As of 2010[update] water improvements are planned.[2]
Wild pigs and sheep can be hunted in the area. The dry shrublands get cold at night due to the elevation.
The nearby Bradshaw Field, a military airstrip on the Pohakuloa Training Area , and artillery practices can disturb the quiet of the site.[1]
On August 18, 2009 Senator Daniel Inouye and other officials held a ceremony at the park marking the third phase of the realignment of the Saddle Road. The first three phases improved 22 miles of the 55-mile (89 km ) road, through the 8 miles (13 km ) west of the park and 14 miles (23 km ) east of the park.[3]
On August 22, 2010, a fire broke out between the park and the training area. Dry conditions, strong winds, and steep terrain hampered fighting efforts, although military helicopters were used.[4]
The fire burned for over a week, with traffic diverted to the older saddle road and the park closed down.[5]
In 2014, Hawaiʻi County took over management from the state in 2014 to improve the facilities.[6]
