***Tennis Courts***…read more A friend who lives here recommended these tennis courts. You drive up the elementary school drive way and veer right. Note: Don't go during school pick up times around 2 pm, if I recall correctly. Out of Ala Moana Park and Diamond Head TC, these courts are less cracked and hurt my body less afterwards. The downside was there was no shade so it was really hot in the early afternoon. It didn't start to cool down until 4 pm, right around the time some people were coming in for lessons in the next court (there's 2). Overall, nicer courts to hit balls. Wish it was cooler, near the ocean. Maybe will trying coming in the evening. The woman's toilet (only one stall) was surprisingly clean

I've always passed by this park but I never really ventured in it. For some reason I thought it was…read morepart of the school so I thought it was off limits. But recently my sister had basketball practice there. Aina Haina Community Park is a huge park. The parking is a bit away from the basketball courts. You probably wouldn't even know that there were basketball courts out there from standing in the parking lot. The first thing you see is the huge baseball field. They also have playground equipment for kids and tennis courts. It's a beautiful park and it is very well maintained. All of the courts are clean, no ripped basket nets, and no holes in the court. My daughter had fun playing on the playground equipment. It was just like other parks but it had a different bridge. They had a bridge that was a little more complicated and had feet placement steps instead of just a straight bridge. It took a little more skill to balance. Overall I'd come back here. I liked the playground and the basketball courts. Seems like a very safe park to play at.

"Petrie Park- an oasis in Kaimuki"…read more Great little community park next to Waialae elementary school. They have outdoor tennis, volleyball and basketball courts and a nice grassy field for little league baseball games and practices. Like all facilities while still under pandemic restrictions, be sure to follow the protocols in effect at the time of your visit. The views from the upper part of the park on 20th Ave. are quite nice, especially during sunrise. During normal in-school class days, most of the street between the school and the park is closed. On the mauka side there is access to a couple of parking stalls for your use when using the park. An interesting side note is that the park's rec. bldg. next to the children's playground equipment area used to be an open pavillion that was one of the coolest places to sit. The tradewinds would roll through with a sweet breeze as you sat and kicked back to daydream during the lazy days of summer.

Located in the Kaimuki neighborhood, just across the street from Waialae Elementary School is a…read morehidden treasure of a park! I will have to admit I have a soft spot for this park, as my friends & I use to hang out at this park during our Intermediate, errr............or should I say middle school dayz. I even played park league b-ball for Petrie park back in da dayz...........and if I can find da vintage pic, I'll post it for you folks, so you can get a good laugh! Buwahahahahaha! Petrie Community Park is not overly big, but it has a little of something for everyone (for all ages). Petrie park has several basketball courts, tennis courts, a volleyball court, a jungle gym for the kiddies, and a large field for kids to play soccer, baseball, as well as football. There are also several benches & picnic tables on the park premises, should you wanna eat there, or watch the kiddies. In my recent visits here, I could clearly see that the field could use some water, as the grass was pretty brown & dried up...........but of course summer is just around the corner, so I guess maybe the city is trying to save water? There is also a office pavilion, as well as a restroom at Petrie park, but be careful if you come here at night, as I saw some sketchy element hanging & loitering around the restroom area. There is no private parking lot for this park, but not to fret as there is a lot of street parking within the Kaimuki neighborhood. Through the years, not much has changed at this park since I used to hang here as a kid, but glad to see folks still bring kids here to enjoy this nice community park.

We went to Booth District Park a few weeks ago. It was my first time going there that I remember…read more It's a pretty big park and they have parking spaces all around the park. We went there for the playground but there wasn't any spaces in front of the playground so we had to walk just a little to get there. It's a really nice park to go to if you're in the area. They have a nice field, playground, basketball courts, and pickle ball courts. The playground is a little different from others because it has a zip line for kids. You hang onto a handle and with enough momentum you can swing yourself to the other side. My daughter loved that when we went to a park in California and we just never saw one of those in Hawaii. But now we know... They do exist! The playground is also in the shade so you won't get fried when waiting for your kids to finish playing. And there is a bench to sit and rest while you wait. Great park, we hope to go back there soon.

This is a hidden gem in the heart of Pauoa…read more When I heard about the Yelp Earth Day Challenge, Booth Park immediately came to mind. My husband works for the DOE and wanted to "check out" this park last year. Although we live in Moiliili, the drive is quick since it's right off the freeway. So glad we did... It's now one of our top 3 parks to take the boys! The facilities are well maintained, shaded by the huge trees that offer parents and kids shelter from the midday sun. My oldest son (4.5yrs) loves the swings and riding his scooter around the basketball and tennis courts. My youngest (3rd) enjoys jumping off the concrete benches and mastering the playground (which is more elaborate than the usual city park playgrounds around town). There's spinning chairs, slides, a mini zip line, drums, and chimes that kids can make music with! So cool! Parking is fairly easy to find around the park perimeter. Area has been consistently safe when we take the kids (about once every couple of weeks). Great for all ages but adult supervision is still recommended esp for the littles.

Only street parking is available. There is a bathroom on site along with a small playground and basketball court. The playground is not meant for little kids. They have a fitness training group that is there all the time under the pavilion. There are even people walking their dogs in the park. There's not a lot of seating as far as benches or picnic tables. There's also not a whole lot of shade. It seems like the park is mostly used for baseball practices and games.

Newer children's play area. Basically street parking, but usually not a problem. Good example of how mini parks can add to a neighborhood. Has seen more dire times but they have cleaned it up and has become an asset for the neighborhood for many years. This location is the home to two Pokémon stops, two of many in the Palolo neighborhood. If you are into that sort of thing :).

We never really went to this park to play basketball. Recently my daughter and I were going to an Easter egg hunt at Sacred Hearts so we decided to walk there from my mom's house. We took the shortcut and walked through the park. This park now has playground equipment and a slide for kids to go on. We were the only ones there at the time but my mom says during the week it gets pretty crowded. I'm really glad they fixed up this park and added more equipment for kids to play with.

Keeping it Kaimuki…read more.. A mini park that I knew that I never knew lol! With just a few weeks to enjoy the tree a top the hill lit so beautifully and bright it's a place that I rarely get to enjoy and take in at my leisure since parking in the area is quite the real challenge. This year I did have some bucket list places that I really wanted to visit and why not start at a place that's been in my neighborhood since not knowing is quite shameful and decided Christmas Eve was the night that I needed to see it so I arrived early before the sunset and luckily did find parking right across the street and am happy to finally take it all in. It does sit right a top the fire station and there is a path that will take you straight up there which is all dirt so a rainy day will make climbing a challenge so it is something to keep in mind as there isn't any seating or covering as well but was surprised to find many to take the trip up to enjoy the sunset and tree along with the stunning view of Kaimuki and beyond. A free place to take it all in and enjoy and wished I did come up earlier to enjoy the sunset as this place is totally recommended and will be back. Thank you!

It also has a basketball court, volleyball court, and playground apparatus for little kids. I remember going to this park in high school. My friends and I would always go to this park during the summer to play basketball. It was a great park to play basketball at. I had some great memories at this park. But now many many years later, there's no more basketball playing yet, and instead it's playground equipment. It was my first time checking out the playground equipment and I was kind of disappointed. The equipment itself was still in working condition but there was a lot of rust on the edges of the equipment. I had to watch my daughter really carefully to see where she was putting her hands when she climbed up the stairs. The ground cover was also peeling off in some areas. Hopefully they'll get their playground equipment upgraded like other parks soon.
