Manoa Valley District Park

Description

Manoa Valley Park is a gorgeous spot. High mountains surround you and emerald green grass stretches out before you. Trees provide shady spots. The playground has benches for the parents and there's usually plenty of people around because of the public pool and sports fields. I love to come here and look up at the blue blue sky and the mountains. One disadvantage is that it is always windy here.
Explore the beautiful college town of Manoa while you're here. Surrounded by high mountain ridges and gifted with huge rainbows that span the entire sky nearly every afternoon, Manoa is a magical place with groovy coffee shops, natural hippie grocery stores, and a strong sense of place. There is another delightful park with playground nearby: the mystical feeling University Avenue Park. You could also take a muddy slippery hike to the stunning Manoa Falls. Or have a long wonderful walk around the campus of University of Hawaii Manoa and enjoy the old regal trees and the nice architecture. There you will find peaceful Japanese gardens.

I've always wanted to lay on this little sloped hill on this softest grass!	The sports fields. Is it even possible to find grass greener than this?
