Thomas H Gentry Community Park

Ewa by Gentry homeowners (and renters/​tenants of an Ewa by Gentry home) are privy to a community center that’s exclusively for them. Located on Keaunui Drive next to Thomas H. Gentry Community Park sits a lone structure that houses an outdoor lap pool and party pavillions.
Having a community center like this is a huge plus because here in Hawaii there is no such thing as a «small party.» There are two pavilions available for rental:
LARGE PAVILION:
— maximum capacity is 88 people
— that provides 16 tables and seating for 88 people
— damage deposit check of $ 275.000
— rental fee with pool access for $ 375.00
— rental fee without pool access $ 275.00
— minimum time to rent pavilion is 5 hours
— additional hourly rate if your event surpasses 5 hours is $ 55.00/hr
— additional hourly rate for pool time if your event surpasses 5 hours is $ 25.00/hr
— FULL KITCHEN AVAILABLE ON PREMISE
SMALL PAVILION:
— maximum capacity is 39 people
— that provides 8 tables and 39 chairs
— damage deposit check of $ 175.00
— rental fee with pool access for $ 275.00
— rental fee without pool access is $ 175.00
— minimum time to rent pavilion is 5 hours
— additional hourly rate if your event surpasses 5 hours is $ 35.00/hr
— additional hourly rate for pool time if your event surpasses 5 hours is $ 25.00
— NO KITCHEN AVAILABLE FOR SMALL PAVILION
Also note there there NO LIFEGUARDS OR ATTENDANTS ON DUTY TO PROVIDE SUPERVISION. What I love about this place is that your guests can get as loud as they want because there is no immediate housing nearby that would complain of noise pollution.
It’s a great venue for parties that require more space than your home or perhaps something not the size of a banquet room at a hotel or country club. Perfect for the «small» local parties. There is tons of parking specific to this community center but also tons of available non-​metered street parking.
There is also a resident pool membership if your specific housing does not have a pool. The fee is an annual rate of $ 50.00 for head of household and $ 15.00 for each additional household member who is 7 years and older. There’s a pool schedule that allots for open swims, swim clubs and lessons as well as overnight lap swims (it’s an additional fee to have access to night swims).
In my opinion, this is such a great asset to the growing Ewa plain community. The only downside is that this community center is that it’s for all Ewa by Gentry (can’t have just one if you’re gonna build up the entire west side of Oahu). This is strictly a community center with no recreational equipment (like a gym or workout equipment).

It is always beautiful at this place. Sometimes it gets crowded but most of the time not. It is summer so most often than not. I put in an hour of excersise, do my thing, get in and get out! They close at 7:45pm so enough time to work come home and come here to excersise. The people that work in the office are super nice and helpful when needed.
