HI HCR3

Requests the Department of Education to open public school recreational facilities (pools, gyms, fields) for public use during non-peak hours and non-school days.

Addresses inequity in recreational facility access, noting that 29% of U.S. residents lack walkable access to parks and that rural and low-income Hawaii communities face the greatest barriers.

References Hawaii Administrative Rules chapter 39, which already requires school facilities to be available for public use when activities don't interfere with school operations, but seeks to expand unrestricted access.

Cites survey data showing 87% of people want local and state governments to ensure equitable access to park and recreation amenities.

Directs that a certified copy of the resolution be transmitted to the Superintendent of Education.
