Kakaako Waterfront Park

Kakaako Waterfront Park, Urban park in Honolulu, US.

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.

Kakaʻako Waterfront Park opened in November 1992 on the site of a former municipal landfill, covering 35 acres of grass-covered hills beside the ocean. The Hawaiʻi Community Development Corporation managed it for nearly 20 years. In October 2017 it closed to clear homeless encampments and reopened in January 2018; in late 2019 the land passed from the state of Hawaiʻi to the city of Honolulu.

The park's name "Point Panic" comes from the surf break at its tip, one of two breaks in the park alongside Flies. Two sculptures stand on the grounds: Lahui, a silicon bronze sheet work by Sean K. L. Browne from 1992, and Ano Lani, a bronze by Frank Sheriff from 1993. A monument commemorates the nine people lost when the USS Greeneville struck the Ehime Maru in 2001.

Access to the water is by concrete stairs, as the park has no sandy beach. Paved jogging paths run over the grass-covered hills, and the grounds hold restrooms, water fountains, picnic tables, an amphitheatre and free parking. The John A. Burns School of Medicine stands inland next to the park.

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.
