We've been living in Ho'opili since 2017 and were so excited when Konane Park opened. It's been…read moresuch a great addition to our community! There's always a nice mix of people from all over the island who come to visit--many even call it the "Fruit Park" or "Apple Park." For us, it's extra special because it's right across the street from our home, making it so convenient to enjoy. The park is well maintained weekly through our community fees, and the trees here are amazing--the ulu provides food, and the puakenikeni blossoms are perfect for making lei. We've even been able to spread a few lauhala seeds, adding to the natural beauty. Konane Park is truly a gathering place that reflects the spirit of Ho'opili.

Small & not well known park on Kulihi St. in lower Makakilo. Hours: 6am - 10pm (I never came at…read morenight). Pros: peaceful, not well known or used, usually pretty empty, has b-ball court and large maintained grass area Cons: hot, no shade, playground is suited for 5 - 12 yr old (says the sign), not very toddler friendly, dingy bathrooms Some ppl come and just sit in their cars (maybe eat, meet up, or ?). I bring my kids occasionally since I work in Makakilo. Nobody bothers. Sometimes there are homeless, but it currently looks cleaned up! The park maintenance does pretty good maintaining this park. C&C could upgrade the bathrooms tho! 2 stalls in women's side, not good lighting, but water fountain works! Always bring your own TP in case...it is C&C parks afterall.

The two times that i've brought him here to play, there were no kids and we stayed pretty long, still no kids came. However there's a bunch of randoms that do park here for lunch break or to come chill in their cars or a bathroom break. Both times i came here, there were tow trucks that scout the parking lot making sure cars are using the appropriate parking stalls etc. i do like that The playground is fenced off due to the fact that it is right by the freeway.. by the way the freeway noise does not bother. I jus really like this spot because there isn't any kids whenever we go, perhaps not really favorable or well known spot.

This is exactly what happened to me! As we turned the corner bend, "Whoaaaaa this park is spacious and the playground is colorful"! Need to say both me and my son was super excited to check it out! 1) This is Park has its own lot. No need to worry about Parking on the street like most. There are ample parking. 2) Restroom is not your typical Park Restroom! From the outside is a small building on the right side of the playground. The Women's Restroom is very clean inside with 2 stalls (1 small / 1 large) and the best part it has *Baby Changing Station*, *Seat Covers* & *Soap Dispenser*! If you need to bring your baby in a stroller, no need to worry about getting the wheels dirty and wet. 3) Can't say enough how the colors really brightens the mood and has my son excited to play! It's safe for ages 3+ and with a fun challenge in the middle to get their mind stimulated. 4) Here's a fun twist, on the left side there's a Fitness Equipment Area. It's super convenient to incorporate a quick workout while your keiki play at the playground (of course, if they're old enough to play without assistance). Either way, there's playing space for both parents and keiki! 5) If you're an Ohana with a Family Dog, there's also a fenced off Doggy Area to the far left! I haven't been inside, but from the outside it looks quite roomy for the doggies to run around. 6) Alongside with the great variety of choices, there's a large field of grass! Perfect space to have practices, large groups to workout, let the keiki run around loose, and even kite flying! As large as this park is, you may want to bring an umbrella or baby tent for shade as there's not really anywhere to relax other than a tree in the back or near the restrooms. Upside, there's 3 tables if you want to kau kau as well! Hoalauna Community Park hits all the aspects you'd want for everyone! Let me tell you, it's a "ONE STOP SHOP"!

What more can you ask for in a community park?…read more Hoalauna provides something for everyone in your family, no matter their age! Your fur babies, too! 2 dog parks, multiple exercise equipments, playground for your little ones, picnic tables for you parents and kupuna's, an entire 30+ space parking lot, CLEAN restrooms; need I say more? There is also a ginormous grassy area that can be great to let your little ones one freely without getting too close to the road. One downside to the park; there isn't much shade. Aside from the minimal tree shade, and the shade from the umbrella partially covering the playground, there's not much to work with. Fixable by bringing your own umbrella (: We love this park!

Popular picture spot for the beach photographers, mostly shooting family shots, especially at sunset. Parking all costs money in this area you're best off parking by Monkeypod the restaurant nearby. Can't remember the cost but it's like $8-10 for 3 hours. At least one good spot in the 4 seasons lagoon area to wash of your feet from the sand (foot wash station). It's also called Lagoon 1 or Kohola Lagoon.

Guess this isn't so secret anymore :-)…read more Very safe and peaceful lagoon to snorkel in with lots of fish and an occasional sea turtle or seal sighting. Parking is tough here as the only official parking lot is small. Thankfully we were staying close by and was able to walk here. The lagoon has lots of tropical fish and is fairly shallow where you can stand in most of the spots. Decent amount of beach sand area to lay out your towels and catch some sun.

Unrelated to this review for the Makakilo park, I'm trying to get back into writing one review a…read moreday to make up for the slack over the past couple months. Now that I have more time on my hands, I will TRY to write a review everyday. Maybe in hopes to refine my writing skills, too. Lol. Anyways, I thought I'd write about the Makakilo park today. I don't visit often, but it's nice to relax and enjoy good food and company. I used to like the feel at the Kapolei park next to the rec center, but this park is nice as well. One thing I like about it is that there aren't that much people, if you're planning to go in the afternoon to evening time. That being said, you can bring your whole family, friends, and pets to enjoy the whole park to yourselves. Some features of the park: ~Basketball courts, a volleyball court, and tennis courts in the area. There are also nearby restrooms too. However, no seat covers, but there are doors for your privacy. ~Exercise equipment for early bird or late night owl work out. I would really very much appreciate it if these equipment were within walking distance of my house, so Makakilo residents that live nearby the park have a real treat. Monkey bars, climbing ladder, and sit-ups may be done on these equipment and instructions are posted too! ~Playground for the kiddies ~Water faucet for easily accessible water if need be ~Excellent for large gatherings. Just be sure to bring own tables and chairs as these are not at the park ~Wide courts for riding unicycles, bicycles, and scooters! ~Small parking lot, but adequate if carpooling Nonetheless, a nice park for recreation and exercise. There's that added breeze since this park is atop Makakilo. :-)

One of my pledges this year is to complete more reviews of dive shops & sites. Kahe Point Beach…read morePark, aka "Electric Beach," is a famous dive site on the West Side of Oahu. Located a few minute's drive past Ko Olina, across from the Hawaiian Electric Kahe Point Power Plant (hence the "Electric Beach or E-Beach" nicknames), and before Tracks surf site, E-Beach is a relatively shallow and newbie friendly dive site. Lots of dive shops and instructors use E-Beach as part of their scuba training. It gets busy and crowded with a mix of beach goers, snorkelers, swimmers, free divers, and scuba divers. E-Beach has a great mix of big critters and macro creatures. Hawaiian Monk Seals, Manta Rays, Honus, and Dolphins mixed with nudibranches, sea slugs, and mantis shrimps! Repeat and recommend!

There is more than enough public free parking and I would consider this park very safe. Limited shade so take that into account if you're going to spend a lot of time here.
