Eggstravaganza Family Event

Kamole Mini Park
All Hillside Residents Welcome!
Sponsored by WIRCA – Waialae Iki Ridge Community Association
Hop on over to Kamole Mini Park for some neighborhood fun on Saturday, April 19th from 9:00-10:00. This event is for the whole family – all ages welcome!
Enjoy coffee, pastries, and festive snacks with our neighborhood in beautiful Kamole Mini Park! Attendees will get to meet the Easter Bunny, get faces painted, go on an egg hunt, play with bubbles, draw with chalk, color spring-themed coloring pages, and decorate eggs to take home!
Older children are encouraged to volunteer as well as participate in the activities! We need volunteers for face painting, bubble stations, egg decorating stations, festive/creative snack donations and more! Sign up link below.
Event Details:
We ask that for every person participating in the egg hunt please donate a dozen stuffed eggs. Chocolate tends to melt quickly – however if you want to stuff your eggs with chocoate consider freezing them in advance. You may also consider avoiding nuts as we have a few children on the hill with allergies. Please drop off your eggs to Staci by Thursday, April 17. Call or text Staci at (808) 838-9334 to coordinate.
Mahalo Waialae Iki Ridge neighbors! Hope to see you there!

Traffic Safety on Laukahi Street
Questions and Comments Regarding Engineered Improvements to Regulate Traffic Safety on Laukahi Street
On March 14, 2025, the WIRCA Board of Directors emailed information to homeowners on Waiʻalae Iki Ridge (below the gate) regarding two proposed solutions for speed control on Laukahi Street.
There are two substantial measures DTS found feasible, historically effective (elsewhere) and now projected for implementation in Waiʻalae Iki. These measures are to be planned, installed and maintained by the City & County of Honolulu, as roadways and infrastructure under their cognizance:
- Two speed “humps” installed horizontally across Laukahi St.
- Raised Pavement Markers (RPMs) on the painted bike lane markings along most of the length of Laukahi St., with vertical “traffic delineators” installed at each corner of intersections with streets entering Laukahi St. along its length.
Homeowners were asked to provide questions/comments to the proposal by April 14, 2025. Click the button below to see the comments and questions that have come in, along with commentary from WIRCA. If you would like to make a comment, please email us at info@wirca.org with the subject line: Traffic Safety on Laukahi.

A Message of Hope from Susan Hirano
Aloha Waialae Iki Families!
Gosh, it’s been a while since I started with that greeting! I hope all of you are doing well.
Most of you know by now that I left my WIRCA President position to focus on my family. After four years, It was time to pass the torch. While I was proud to be President and especially enjoyed the camaraderie we shared on the Board, it was time to pay closer attention to that little voice inside calling me to move in a new direction.
That direction was chosen for me when I was diagnosed with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer (a rare form of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast that spread to several parts of my body) in October 2021. Yes, I did all my annual mammograms and self-exams. Yes, I was diligent about keeping my doctor visits and doing all the things you are supposed to do to “stay healthy,” even through COVID. But nothing showed up on imaging and it was a fluke that it was found at all. For some, this would have been a death sentence. I chose to fight!

About Waialae Iki View Lots Units 2-4
Location
The subdivision was originally known as Waialae Iki View Lots Units 1-4. We are a community of 625 homes, which runs from Kalanianaole Highway up to, but not including, the gated community at the top of the ridge. Waialae Iki Ridge Community Association represents Waialae Iki Units 2-4, starting right after the first water tower on Laukahi St.
Click here if you need information on the Waialae Iki Ridge community located behind the gates – Wai’alae Iki 5. That community is not represented within this website.
About Us
We are a quiet, yet vibrant mix of working families, retirees and military personnel. As the original community name states, our most valued tangible assets are our views. While our CC&R’s differ between the three units of the development, all are intended to preserve these striking views. Our Resources Page provides information on the specific similarities and difference. Our board and owners support the upholding of these CC&R’s to maintain our views and quality of life.
You’ll find:
- Beautiful and dramatic views
- Quiet Streets
- A family-friendly environment
- Sunshine, rainbows, breezes and showers
- Caring neighbors
- An active and involved neighborhood association
If you’re looking for a place to live in East Honolulu, we encourage you to consider one of the homes on our ridge.

Among the Safest Communities on Oahu
Crime rates in our community are typically lower than all the surrounding non-gated communities. The primary reason for this is our Security Patrol. Officers make random passes through our streets watching for unsafe conditions, and helping members with safety and security concerns. This patrol is paid for through the minimal dues, which are a fraction of the amount of the average gated community.
In addition to the security patrol, member dues pay for a small number of administrative expense, such as limited mailings, banking fees and maintenance of our website. The bulk of operations are done by our volunteer Board of Directors and Committees. WIRCA membership is not a requirement, but the vast number of the households opt to join.
WIRCA dues are the best value ever and I can’t understand why everyone doesn’t join!!!!!
