~~Question: In January, I called to ask about using Kapiolani Park softball fields Sunday afternoons for a church league and was told that the fields are all taken by “regulars.” I asked how we can get in on a Sunday and the girl said, “Cannot, because the people that are using the fields have been using it for years.” I checked online about the use of softball fields and it basically said the ball fields may be reserved for practices and games on a first-come-first-served basis. Could you check into this?
Answer: Officials with the city Department of Parks and Recreation confirmed that it should be a level playing field when it comes to reserving the ball fields.
