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! Mahalo to the previous yelper who mentioned that they allow parties here (with a permit). I'll definitely be looking into that for future events!

I have driven by this park countless times and thinking I want to bring my little one to play here…read more From far away it looks great. So I finally decided to stop by for some outdoor playtime with my little. I am sure that at some point this was an amazing park for your toddler/kids and it still is if you play tennis or other things. The two stars are because of the playground. It is really heartbreaking to see the condition of this playground. What is even sadder is my toddler saying "sowwy mommy, bwoken" and you are trying to explain that yes it is broken but it is not their fault. The playground is full of grafitti, profanity written on benches, play structure, etc. There is vandalism, broken cracked slide, trash, and exposed metal that has rusted (hope you have your tetanus shots!) throughout. It felt so uncomfortabke having my son play here for fear that he might get hurt since the equipment has not been cared for. Another thing is if you are wanting to sit down, the benches do not offer a good view of the whole play area so you have to really circle around if your little one still cant climb well/etc. It is also reslly hot here and there is no shade except from the little towers of the play structure. Every other part of this park has better maintennance, I just wish this playground had a little tlc and it would be more enjoyable.

There isn't a parking lot, but there's lots of street parking all the way around (lower street or upper street and it loops). There is a public bathroom on the upper side of the field closest to the town houses. Even though I haven't really visited this park much, I don't really care for it's unleveled field. We don't normally play at parks on mountains so I'm sure that can't really be helped. I would just prefer my kids playing on a flat field, seems safer.

It's…read moreright up the road from us and it's large enough for multiple activities to take place at once. This park is highly used for sports whether it be baseball or soccer. That's also the downside. We like to blow big bubbles and kick the soccer ball around for fitness with the kiddo. I usually work into the late afternoon so the evening is our preferred time to get out for air. We have to pick our days wisely because most days they have soccer practice and games that take up the whole park. I'm hoping there's a schedule somewhere on the MTA website that can give us better guidance on which parks have practice on what days so we can easily enjoy one instead of bouncing around looking for an open field before the sun sets.

The path is paved, wide, and stroller/ tricycle/ scooter-friendly, so it works well for both adults and kids. The whole place has a calm, welcoming vibe. There are enough people around that it doesn't feel empty, but never crowded. There are several playgrounds scattered along the loop, which makes them great "pit stops" if you're there with kids. The playgrounds aren't brand new, but they're in decent condition and set on rubber flooring. They're perfect for active toddlers and slightly older kids. Our two-year-old can enjoy the slides and smaller features without it feeling overwhelming or dangerous. The only thing I wish is that there were a few more benches near the playgrounds for parents to sit and relax. The park itself is beautiful, with lots of trees providing shade and greenery that stays fresh even in the hotter months. Lately, the flowering trees have been blooming with pinkish-yellow blossoms. There are also picnic tables and restrooms available (didn't check the restrooms personally, but they're there).

To tell you the truth I have not stepped foot on the park premises only checked out the park from a distance. Majority of the time I would be with my grandfather as he picks up his lady friend that lives in the senior citizen apartments. I did take notice that the Pilila'au Park has a small playground, a section for the skateboarders or roller skaters, a basketball court, and a area for peewee football or baseball practices. The times that I have been near the park I really have not seen many people at the park. Maybe I'm there at the wrong time of day. I wonder if the children and parents of Waianae still frequent this park? I do know there is a bus stop for residence to wait and ride the shuttle bus.

I also love this park because it's situated in a family friendly community and just a bike ride away from my house. One negative part is that it gets to scorching temperatures due to lack of trees near the tennis and basketball courts. The only shade you will find will be close to the fence. Another negative part is that there is no fence around the perimeter of the basketball court so please believe you'll have a fun time chasing your own ball.

Police do drive by every so often and will stop to have cars move if they are parked where they shouldn't be. I like to watch my nephew play baseball at this park because there are a ton of trees lining the field so you can watch in the shade. There is also a hill in the back field that you can walk up and watch the games (no shade up here though). The field itself tends to be a little on the overgrown, but the kids don't seem to mind much. The dugouts seems to be quite well taken care of. There are bathrooms here and they seem to be cleaned regularly - or at least before the weekends. All in all, a nice park - even when there are no games, I see families here enjoying the sun.
