Honolulu City Council member Tom Berg held one of his patented town hall meetings at Oneula Beach Park Saturday.

Ewa Beach residents used the opportunity to vent their frustration with the condition of the park. Parks and Recreation Director Gary Cabato said he’s responsible for the park, and that repairs and improvements are still years away.

Residents complained, not just about the parking, but the loss of the main access road into the park, lost due to encroachment by development, and about the condition of the bathrooms.

Residents said they’ve put up with broken promises for more than a decade. On Saturday some of them shook with anger when they testified.
