Best tip for first time tourist to Oahu! If you want to see Diamond Head and you don’t want to hike up 9000 steps! You can drive up here and see all of Oahu!!! Thank me layer!!!
Definitely my favorite park in Honolulu. I took a girl here on our first date and we had the best time ever. Incredible view. Perfect for a picnic, but keep your food in a basket because there's a lot of dogs (which is always fun) during sunset. Also the park closes I think after dark but stargazing there was epic.
Once you make the small hike up the access road you have a nice 360• view of Honolulu, Daimond Head, Kaimuki, Kahala, n Koko head. No handicap access or public restrooms. Just a nice view.. Enjoy
Nice park to get amazing views of Honolulu/Kaimuki and circle all the way around towards Hawaii Kai. Too bad the park is so small and you most likely won't ever really have the place to yourself due to kids and/or homeless being there.
Fantastic hiew of the diamond head & downtown Honolulu , accessible cars can drive on the foot of the park and just a couple of minutes uphill walking you will reach the top, its a perfect place to get fresh air, cool breeze, have your tent too, and it's famous spots for fireworks viewing
Very lowkey park with an insane view. It’s a little bit hard to find parking but it is just a small walk up the hill to get to the park. I would recommend the park for a nice picnic either with your family or a date. The Christmas tree is also pretty cute.
***DATE NIGHT APPROVED LOCATION!***
Most locals know this park by "Christmas Tree Park"
The reason being is because there is a man-made pole there from the remnants of a once radio tower that is lined with Christmas lights that are configured in the shape of a Christmas tree. As winter comes and the holidays is approaching after thanksgiving usually the lights are turned on at night in green and can be seen from different areas in Honolulu. Its quite beautiful.
FAST FACTS: Please be mindful of the residents that live near this park, especially when going in the evening. The park does have hours, and there have been incidences of police coming in at night because of noise complaints but other than that if you come here and practice respect, by not being too noisy, obnoxious then you'll definitely avoid having to be put in that situation.
PARKING: Its residential street, so you can only park along the side streets in front of homes.
DAY: This park is really peaceful with breathtaking panoramic views of the city, Manoa, Waialae, Kahala and also Hawaii Kai. I recommend coming here as later in the day around 1-2hrs before sunset. Its much cooler and if your a dog owner its a perfect time as other dog owners also come around this time and play around here. There are trash bins so no problem not having a place to dispose of garbage. There are lots of room here to place a mat on the comfortable grass. Perfect for picnics, and just lounging while waiting for the sunset.
NIGHT: In the evening you'll be surrounded by the lights of Honolulu. When it is not winter time this park is pitch dark and is only lit by the surrounding city and neighborhood lights. As breathtaking as it is during the daytime, the night view is another treat on its own. Its another story when its a full moon, a view worth seeing.
Overall this park is one of a few date night spots I recommend on going to after dinner or dessert (Via Gelato down the road). It's a great place to talk, reflect, relax, and just to find a peaceful place to just unwind while looking at the quiet and peaceful ambiance of the city in the evening.
Glad this place is not packed with tourists. Bring your snacks and have a nice picnic, enjoy the sunset or sunrise on top of this beautiful park.

It was a difficult hike but totally worth every ragged breath. Most of the way up is filled with rubble but there is a small section that is open between each tram and it can be scary. But I took my time going up and coming down and I was fine. I saw
This hike phenomenal. Even the drive to reach this place is fantastic. There is a look out just before the tunnel itâs beautiful, driving thru the tunnel is also amazing with white lights.
The views after reaching the top is amazing.

Not a place I'd bring kids or pets but a great time for adults who are confident swimmers. The waves are pretty gnarly and a couple of people underestimated how powerful they were and needed help getting back out of the water while I was there. If yo
No other beach like it , rugged coast up against raw chunky Diamond head itâs almost primal.. beautiful coco palms and several sea staircases give this beach unmatchable charm
No restrooms , dog friendly no playground lots of picnic area
Other than loud music here and there , I love walking around the park from time to time. If you walk around the entire park 2-3 laps it will probably help you to achieve 6000+ steps depending on a route.
Overall the best place to hang out with famili
Definitely a great Beach to experience. I don't think you could go wrong with any beach around this area, but if I recommend one it might be this one. I believe there were some restrooms close by and the waves were not huge. So if you wanted to go ou
We have been going here for years. It is one of the more popular playgrounds in Honolulu for kids. We have been to many around the city and this is our favorite. It's handy since we live so close. Parks system also offers loads of classes (volleyball
A favorite chill spot. It's actually a recreational center with a baseball field...it's huge. Busy sometimes with the keikis and sports. There's a swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts. Picnic tables & restrooms too. Nice view of Honolulu city
Ono, soo ono. If you enjoy the taste and feel of each bite in your mouth, this is the place for local, healthy, ono eats. Fresh every single time. This is the first time in my life that I have eaten at one restaurant three (3) times IN THE FIRST WEEK
Shoot was - as expected - amazing. Stunning mastery of technique, patter, and showmanship. Hilarious sense of humour, was great at working the crowd and had a lot of warmth and heart incorporated into his performance, and the story he told throughout

I have been searching and searching for great biscuits and gravy like I used to get back in Texas, and OMG these were so so so so much better than that. Did something different and went with the chicken biscuits and gravy and was happily surprised at
