Description
I love the feel of Kapiolani Park! Here groups of people gather to play soccer or to fly kites. Diamond Head stands regally above, while the mountains that gather misty clouds stand far in the distance. Twisted shower trees provide shade and little benches are scattered about. Joggers are everywhere. An old banyan tree is a fun place to play. There are also walkways and statues, part of a facelift Kapiolani Park received a few years ago. Kapiolani Park used to be a homeless hangout but not lately. Waikiki Shell, a fantastic concert venue with a huge grassy lawn is nearby, and sometimes you can hear the music from Kapiolani Park.
Across Kalakaua Ave from Kapiolani Park is the gorgeous Hau Tree Beach where you can have a wonderful swim! Also nice is a walk from Kapiolani Park to the Diamond Head Road Overlooks.
