Royal Hawaiian Center plans to redo its central garden area created five years ago during a $115 million renovation to Waikiki’s largest shopping center.

The mall announced plans Thursday to add wider walkways, two ponds with lit fountains, a new performance stage, new landscaping and signs that tell stories about Hawaiian cultural and historical subjects, including Waikiki place names and mall owner Kame­ha­meha Schools.

An expanded cultural and guest center is also part of upgrades to the 30,000-square-foot area between Kalakaua Avenue and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. The project is scheduled to take five months and begin Monday.
