Aloha and Welcome to MECA, Maunawili Estates Community Association!
MECA works to create unity within the upper Maunawili neighborhood in Kailua, Hawaii. This site you are viewing is public and its sole reason for existing is to let the community know how to join the security email alert list. This list has been in existence for over a decade, providing valuable coordination within our small neighborhood on the most critical issues.
KAILUAMECA Google group does the following things:
- Shares security alerts
- Posts and requests input on safety issues, such as maintenance of canals
- Gives updates on the status of other items that directly impact the safety and security of the neighborhood, such as cameras, the trail, etc…
- Announces any MECA annual meetings
- Announces our two community gatherings per year: Easter and Halloween
KAILUAMECA does not:
Post anything social, political, or related to other items outside the scope of what is listed above. For these items, as well as contact with all of Kailua we recommend Nextdoor.com
If you are a resident within Maunawili Estates looking to join the MECA Security group, you may email moderator Wendy Roberts at wendysroberts (at) gmail.com. Include your name and address, and phone number. This email is written in a format to baffle SPAM bots. Please take the (at) and convert it to “@” and remove any spaces. We will contact you to verify your identity, and then you will be given access to the site.
Our goal is to have everyone in the Maunawili Estates neighborhood in the community association and the security group. Please invite your Maunawili Estates neighbors to join us too!

Any tour that is arranged will be posted on the Yahoo Group for sure. Also, I will make sure to email you. I edited out your personal information before posting, but I have it stored so I can contact you when I hear something about a tour. Thanks for your comments! I agree it was a wonderful event!
First to reside in Maunawili Estates, since 1966
Is this site being monitored any longer?
Yes, but usually not very promptly these days. Mostly this is to help route people to the Yahoo group, but i am happy to help if I can. I will email you…
The old Yahoo Group is converting to a Google Group since Yahoo has announced it is terminating its group services. As such all members are being added to the new group and this site received an update to reflect the latest information as of October 2020.
On my daily run I was just nearly KILLED by a speeding jeep heading towards the trailhead on Maunawili. I had to scream, raise my hands, as it came screeching towards me, slamming on the brakes. It stopped just before hitting me.
EVERY weekend it is getting more and more dangerous with little to no police presence. I did call HPD, but we all must do so to avoid someone getting killed. Their hamajang parking, careless dumping of garbage, and sense of entitlement is bad enough. Someone is going to DIE and it was almost just me!!
Hopefully the new trail design will solve these issues! Here’s hoping! I’m sorry you had that scare. There are certainly drivers that take the blind turns too rapidly!
