The intent of the Maui central park district is to provide for the planning and development of educational, recreational and cultural facilities in a setting of a regional park as defined in the Maui central park master plan, with primary emphasis on providing facilities for use by the general public. This master plan serves as a development guide to land use and siting within the Maui central park district and is subject to amendment in the future in response to community concerns and development constraints. Mention and graphic identification of specific uses or organizations are deemed to be exemplary of the type of use which is compatible with a location within the district.

Improvements which are constructed may be enhanced with related amenities such as lakes, ponds, and landscaped features. (Ord. 2031 § 4, 1991: Ord. 1595 § 1 (part), 1986)
