We propose naming our pump track after a mo&#8217;olelo<br>specific to the Waim\u0101nalo area. This idea was sparked by my son, who suggested naming a<br>potential pump track in Kane&#8217;ohe \u201cBamboo Track\u201d. We&#8217;re eager to build upon this concept by<br>incorporating educational elements into our pump track design.Involvement with our project<br>would not only enhance your student\u2019s learning experiences but also provide opportunities for<br>growth, skill building and community engagement. We envision a sign or plaque on-site that<br>shares the story behind the name, providing an opportunity to teach our community and visitors<br>about the mo&#8217;olelo and its connection to the location. Involving the keiki in this project will give<br>them a sense of pride and ownership as they would have a lasting impact on our community.<br>We envision pump tracks across Hawaii and it would give us an opportunity to share every<br>mo\u2019olelo around Hawaii.<br>We believe this approach will not only honor the cultural heritage of Waim\u0101nalo but also<br>promote awareness and appreciation for Hawaii&#8217;s rich storytelling traditions.Mahalo for<br>considering our proposal. We look forward to sharing more about this project and exploring<br>ways to collaborate.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Naming the Pump Track Park : Mo&#8217;olelo around Hawaii<\/summary>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-headings-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-542c8daf3489cbbf826d0be63c7a2443\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-headings-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-542c8daf3489cbbf826d0be63c7a2443\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On November 10, 2025, our president and founder attended the Waimanalo neighborhood board meeting to provide a project update to our community.
