MOANALUA GARDENS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

Email Address

The Moanalua Gardens Community Association (MGCA) was established in
1960 by like-minded neighbors who wanted to give a voice to their
community concerns without the regulation of City Neighborhood Boards.
Join us in creating a vibrant and connected community!


MGCA meetings are held on the

first Tuesday of each month at 7 PM online via Zoom.


We welcome Moanalua Gardens residents, neighbors, community members,
and others interested in making our community a better place. Please
