    How did sand get in there? This is another one of those, I've been here before and I can't believe I never wrote a review. Located on the Hickam side of JBPHH, the park is situated on a corner next to the base swimming pool and across the Navy Lodge checkin. This is a larger playground on base when compared to Vickers Park. I know you read that review, right? A few differences between the parks are: Sand Park has well sand vice rubber floors on Vickers and Sand Park has a swing set for both kids and babies. Vickers has neither. As far as seating is concerned, Sand Park has more benches but a smaller restroom. In my opinion, the restroom is not very well keep as Vickers. Sand Park doesn't has as much grass area as Vickers if you want to hold a picnic but you can spread a couple of blankets around. Lastly a great place to take the kids for some exercise (or get them tired for nap time) and for everyone to get fresh air. Overall five stars. Great place to let the kids be kids. However when it rains or even a day after the rain stops, it does make for some tough walking in the sand. Now excuse me, time to put the phone down and enjoy the sun. M

    I just went there two days ago with my almost a year old son and he absolutely loves it! It's pretty huge! So yes this is on Hickam base and you will need a military pass to get there or ride with a friend who have one! It's not in the shade however under the building there were some shades that kids can play there and it was kinda cool. There were many diversity of activities or obstacles there with different slides, bridges, tunnels, stairs, climbing, etc. Annnnnndddddd the swings are definitely in the shade of the trees! My son absolutely loves it! I wish we have more of these near my home There are bathroom right next to it! How awesome is that! I drove from Mililani just for this, yes to make my little one happy baby it's truly made me a happy mama

    Quite large, our two year old had a blast. Sand is nice and a lot of the kids were barefoot

    This park is safe and secure located on Hickam afb just past the commisarry. It is walled all the way around to keep kids safe, as well as full bathrooms located at the park. It has swings, slides , and monkey bars. Everything you would want at a park age 3-12 with swings for younger ones 1 and 2 year Olds just need to be carefully when crowded.. There is also cold water for drinking. My daughter loves coming here after a stop to the commisary. There are also shaded picnic tables for a snack or picnic. Located in a residential area, with the road gated so kids can't run off into traffic. The sand is clean and safe for going barefoot. If you have base access this is a great spot.

    "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.

    This place is no way near our home but we do like to be on this side of town/island. My wife and I…read morelikes to explore around other parks for our kids. This place came up. This playground has a good amount of shade throughout the whole day. But it does come with its down fall. Due to its huge tress covering the park it has a lot of birds and while my son played on the slide a bird almost pooped on him. And street parking can be a factor but we didn't have any trouble with that. The best thing I liked was the open field next to the park. It's a nice shaded place on a bench to just have a small meal and enjoy the breeze go buy. Second best thing is the restroom is literally next to the playground. Very convenient for our kids. And this park is located right behind the Waikiki zoo and my kids can see the tall giraffes eating from the trees.

    I like others mentioned, great park for little kids. Lots of shade, free parking, clean bathrooms…read moregreen open space, it's a win! Pros: -SHADE!!! The main play area is shaded by big monkey pod trees so kids and parents alike are comfy. -lots of free street parking! -tho in the thick of Waikiki, is fenced off from the thoroughfare traffic. -swings! -picnic tables and benches: there's only 1 bench by the play area and 2 tables so if you really want your own, bring a picnic blanket/mat or chairs but even the. There's lots of shaded area to just sit or rest. Cons: -on this beautiful Sunday afternoon, every motorcycle and Harley felt they needed to cruise this area...SO...con is it's a noisy area with high traffic. However it's properly fenced off so you don't feel afraid of your kid running off. Overall: -Great Park in Waikiki for the 7 and under...I'm thinking even 5 and under. If you have older kids bring some balls or other sporting equipment as I can see them getting bored with the provided playground equipment fairly quickly. If you need to run your littles around in a safe and comfy park, this is it.
