The best thing Mayor Yamashiro while did in office was to upgrade Lili‘uokalani Park in Hilo. Every single day one can see people exercising or picknicking and kids fishing. You can watch people or just enjoy the view across the bay.

June and I often drive past the park in the afternoon, and we see people enjoying it in many different ways. It is a well-used park—by all kinds of people for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes we go there and relax on a bench at dusk.
