I came for the first time last Saturday to watch Bud play soccer. Last year they played their…read moreseason at a much larger park which had limited parking. This park is right next to a school so their parking lot plus another one with steps across the way are used or street parking is another option. If you lug a cart with your chairs, umbrella(s) and mini cooler of chilled bottled water and/or spam musubi, etc.it's more convenient to maneuver your haul by parking at the school. The good thing about this park is that only 2 games are going on simultaneously vs 3. Fortunately there is ample shade on both sides to keep the fans from overdose of UV rays or heat stroke. Our team's practice was after 11 a.m. so the kiddies were playing in the heat of the day. Amazing how they can run back and forth across the field in that temperature. Just so happened there was someone close by intermittently playing Jawaiian type music so that was cool. The field was not muddy or overgrown, just dry so that was appreciated plus close enough and easy to walk to. AUWE to the person from the team before who left their orangey peels on the ground without taking their OPALA away with them. Gotta remember to live aloha.

I'm going to have to give 5 stars for the gym…read more Nice parking lot with plenty of parking. Lots of open gym time and free play gym time. CLEAN floors, nice basketball rims and full glass backboards, bleachers are pulled out to sit on and to put your stuff. I used to play here back in my late teens and early 20s when I used to visit and had a great time back then and am happy that things haven't changed much. There is a good group of dudes not in their 20s (thankfully) that play on a regular basis and who all seem to know each other. I've been three times in the last week and will continue to come here as much as I can for the rest of my time here. I'm thankful to have free gym access. They keep the air con on in the gym to cool it down a bit and there are also bathrooms and a water fountain with a bottle filling option. Mahalo to all who keep the gym in great shape!!

Lanakila District Park is located on the corner of N. School St. and Lanakila Ave. You can't miss…read moreit. There's a big baseball/softball field on the corner and the gym is located further up Lanakila Ave. They might have other activities in the area but I'm not too sure. They have a small parking lot located between the baseball field and the gym. Otherwise you can park on the street or across Lanakila Ave., there is a health center that you can park at on certain days that they're closed. I've been here a bunch of times either to play volleyball or basketball... mostly volleyball. I used to play in some tournaments on Sundays and weeknights over here and parking can get busy. Now I just go on Saturday afternoons to play in the open court with friends. It switches back and forth between here and Palolo Gym. PROS: Pros are that it's located in the middle between the eastside of the island and the westside. They also have padded flooring. The floor looks like wood but if you actually press down on the floor you can see that it gives in a little. They did this renovation a few years back. So if you fall down or go for a dive, hopefully your chances of getting back up in one piece is on the higher side. It's not super soft to the point where when you bounce a ball you can tell a difference. It's hardly noticeable. There's also quite a bit of parking. I've never had trouble with this even when it's super busy. CONS: This place can get really hot. I don't think it's well ventilated. It's also a small gym with one full court and two smaller courts running perpendicular across the full court and bleachers on one side of the gym. That's all the space you'll have. Maybe a few feet more on the perimeter. So it's a small gym which can make it stuffy and hot if they're a lot of people in there. Final Comments: This place is your typical district park gym but a bit on the smaller side. But the convenience of the location and the padded flooring is nothing to complain about. Bathrooms are okay. None the cleanest or the dirtiest. Overall Rating: "EXCELLENT" Great place with okay facilities. But still great nonetheless.

6-5-21 E N O R M O U S park that can host several games at one time. Today was our first visit…read morehere as it was the last games of the soccer season for both of our grandkiddies. Bud's team and challengers played their hearts out and ran as fast as their little legs could go. Just having their feet make contact with the ball thrilled onlookers. Little Sweetie's team took champs and played two games after a practice practically non stop. Talk about stamina!!! By this age you can see who definitely has skill and the talent of both teams is amazing to watch. There are restrooms at the entrance of the park. The field is vast as it is hot and dry. These things came in handy if you are a spectator: chair, umbrella for shade, sunglasses and perhaps even a hat or visor. Definitely bring a cooler with chilled bottled water as the sun's heat is merciless. Don't forget the sunscreen cuz there are no trees to shade yourself on the perimeter of the playing field. What helped was those water spray bottles to mist your family or if you are fortunate to have an Air Wiz or two that runs on ice with 3 AA batteries to provide some cooler air like an electric fan. This park is well maintained, mowed and appeared rock or pebble free for any bumps or falls to the ground. Glad it was in a residential area with lots of parking. As soon as our soccer games ended with medals and trophies awarded, another set of youngsters were up at bat for their games. Hope all the kiddies stay safe and well as the majority of players and fans were maskless. Hopefully being outdoors in a close contact youth sport helps.

808 sports league is a great opportunity for coed sports while socializing with different people…read moreyou haven't met and making new friends. My co-worker invited me to join this league which I paid $70 (early registration per person - it can be $80/person) for Fall 2017 coed volleyball. In Spring 2018 coed volleyball was $800/team for early registration. We had close to 9 people or so which everyone was okay paying. $87/person. Created our own team after we made friends with people and recruited more. Based on only knowing my coworker, they randomly put together my team of 13 people. Through this process, you can make friends from your team as well as from the other teams. I don't know how they decide placement of people, but I actually made friends (at least 7 people) with two opposing teams when we go to the bars after the games. Fall 2017 and Spring 2018 coed volleyball was sponsor by Champs (Sports bar) and Rock Bottom with other beer company (Pacifico and Corona) as these places give us discounts on those beers. I like Champs (Sports bar better) since they have more games and really good food. They always alternate each week of where the post-games are at. The regular season each in fall and spring had two "themes" and my team chose Power Rangers for "hero week" and "America" for "team week" A great way for people to be creative with their "theme" custome. Some teams will dress up prior to match and play in uniform or gym clothes We all got a shirt and each team is represented by a color of the same shirt. Wear your shirts if you want to get the sportsmanship score. It can be used as a tie breaker They allow selfies and the winner gets a $100 tab at a bar based on most people in the selfie, which my team only had maybe 4-5 at one bar and the rest is just 2 (my coworker and me), which we sometimes do selfies or photos with other teams. I wouldn't mind joining other sports this league offers such as: kickball, flag football and dodgeball. 2017 is their 10-year anniversary which our shirt from volleyball mentions. 2018 they went back to the style they used in past of what sport you're playing and what season and year on it. At least this league has some friendly people and some competitive, but it's mostly about having fun and meeting new people and socializing. They have playoffs which half the teams qualify for and if you win, money is donated to a local charity that the winner decides.

KICKBALL. There's a…read moreleague for this?!? For serious. The 2012 season will mark my 5th year playing in this league, and it's just gotten better as the years have rolled on. And after all those years, talking about 808 Sports Leagues and the kickball (and other sports) leagues they put together has never gotten old, especially trying to explain to tripped-out bar-goers on a Monday or Wednesday evening in Varsity or Rock Bottom why there are over 100 people walking around in off-beat, fluorescent or downright bright shirts ... Stranger/Future Kickballer: "So ... kickball?" Me: Yes! There's a league. And I'm on a team. S/FK: "I haven't played kickball since elementary school!" M: .... (Don't worry, we know every one hasn't. :) ) S/FK: (looks out over the sea of forest green, "WOW" pink and KOC blue shirts, among the many colors) "So, how many people are playing in this league?" M: Well, there's 24 teams, about 15-20 people per team, so you're looking at about 400+ adults playing kickball weekly. S/FK: "That's a lot of people. So, you guys have rules and everything? The red rubber ball?" M: Yup. Pretty much the same as schoolyard rules, except no one gets picked last, nah mean? And we even got playoffs and championships! S/FK: (looks around at the bar again, tries counting how many different color shirts) "So, you guys play, and then come out to the bar?" M: Yeah - it's all part of the experience. 20, 30, 40-somethings playing kickball, then chilling out at the bar. S/FK: "I'm sold. Where do I sign up?" ... Unfortunately, by the time we hit the bar in our red/green/blue/pink/orange/yellow/safety green shirts, rosters are closed for the season and you gotta wait to sign up for the next one. Sound fun yet? NO?! Well, read Justin U.'s review. "Great way to meet new people" is like the unofficial motto. Hey - relationships have been started and blossomed over the game of kickball - when's the last time that happened at a pick-up game of basketball? Kickball season runs from March to June, with sign-ups in January-February - don't be *THAT* guy that sees all the 808 Sports Leagues bright shirts and wants in after the ruckus starts! (And if you happen to miss it, there's usually a Fall season of some sport - Flag Football, another Kickball season or .... dodgeball?) SEE YOU OUT ON THAT KICKBALL FIELD!

I grew up playing on these courts…read more These are private courts and in ordered to play here you need to know someone that lives in the Wailuna area because you need a special key to access the gate. Parking: There are about 5 parking stalls for the tennis courts on the residential side. You can also park alongside the main road, which usually always has plenty openings. Amenities: Ice cold water fountain. BBQ are that you can reserve. Jacuzzi to help relax those sore muscles. Court: These courts were recently renovated with lights, so they look really nice. However, I do not like the fact that they did a sloppy job because the court feels like it has a soft cushion under the surface which makes playing really slow. I guess for someone just starting its good, but if you were to play on any other court you would not be use to the speed and pace of the ball.
