Kakaako Waterfront Park, Urban park in Honolulu, US.
Description
Kakaako Waterfront Park is a 35-acre park along the Pacific Ocean in Honolulu with grass-covered hills, paved jogging paths, and an amphitheater for outdoor events. The grounds include multiple spaces for relaxing, exercising, and spending time with ocean views.
History
The park opened in 1992 on the grounds of a former municipal landfill, transforming that site into a recreational space for the community. This conversion marked an important shift in how this waterfront area developed.
Culture
The park displays bronze sculptures including Lahui and Ano Lani, along with a memorial honoring victims of the Ehime Maru incident that visitors encounter while walking the grounds. These artworks shape how the place looks and reflect important events tied to the community.
Practical
The park is open from early morning until sunset and offers free parking, restrooms, water fountains, and picnic tables for visitors. Conditions and crowds vary throughout the day and with the weather.
Did you know?
Two notable surfing spots called Point Panic and Flies offer stair access directly to the water for water sports enthusiasts. These locations show how the park serves active visitors seeking ocean recreation.
