Booth District Park

We went to Booth District Park a few weeks ago. It was my first time going there that I remember. It's a pretty big park and they have parking spaces all around the park. We went there for the playground but there wasn't any spaces in front of the playground so we had to walk just a little to get there. It's a really nice park to go to if you're in the area. They have a nice field, playground, basketball courts, and pickle ball courts. The playground is a little different from others because it has a zip line for kids. You hang onto a handle and with enough momentum you can swing yourself to the other side. My daughter loved that when we went to a park in California and we just never saw one of those in Hawaii. But now we know... They do exist! The playground is also in the shade so you won't get fried when waiting for your kids to finish playing. And there is a bench to sit and rest while you wait.Great park, we hope to go back there soon.

This is a hidden gem in the heart of Pauoa.When I heard about the Yelp Earth Day Challenge, Booth Park immediately came to mind. My husband works for the DOE and wanted to "check out" this park last year. Although we live in Moiliili, the drive is quick since it's right off the freeway. So glad we did... It's now one of our top 3 parks to take the boys! The facilities are well maintained, shaded by the huge trees that offer parents and kids shelter from the midday sun. My oldest son (4.5yrs) loves the swings and riding his scooter around the basketball and tennis courts. My youngest (3rd) enjoys jumping off the concrete benches and mastering the playground (which is more elaborate than the usual city park playgrounds around town). There's spinning chairs, slides, a mini zip line, drums, and chimes that kids can make music with! So cool!Parking is fairly easy to find around the park perimeter. Area has been consistently safe when we take the kids (about once every couple of weeks). Great for all ages but adult supervision is still recommended esp for the littles.

Great place for indoor Pickleball. I wish they would post the schedule on their website.

I miss this place that's located in Pauoa Valley. My parents purchased a house across the street of Booth Park when I was 2 years old. I spent soooo much time here from summer fun, being a junior leader, riding my bike, on the swing and jungle jim, hang out with my friends, etc. Booth Park is a really nice place...not too big, has a lot of shade due to the many trees and lots of activities like a swimming pool, basketball court, gym, etc. People hold get-togethers/picnics, bible studies or birthday parties with a bouncy house here.It was a sad day almost a year ago when we sold my parents house. Whenever I'm in town, we try to pass the house and this park because of so many awesome memories. We visit friends that still live in the valley but it's not the same.

1st off- Amber Lopes is a great person to work with. Super nice & helpful! My family enjoyed hosting a baby shower here this past weekend. The trees were great for shade! The pool being open was a BONUS to the baby shower! I asked the kids if the lifeguards were nice & they said Yes! We made plates of food for them. Getting the permit was so easy with Amber. She communicates BEST through email & calls back as soon as she can after teaching her classes. Parking was easy to find but it did fill up kind of quickly because there was another party as well. We were on the Mauka Side. I suggest this side! Having the gym bathroom open was also a PLUS! Old folks didn't have to park by the park to use the bathroom. Although we did just give them rides there & still came back to our same parking spot. We went 5:30/6:00am to set up our 20x30 tent and the Sprinklers went OFF. Lol, so just keep that in mind. Almost 10 sprinklers going off. A few at a time in the different areas to cover all the grass. After that it was good. A few of the neighbors were so nice. Some we felt like was KARENS just staring and trying to find a problem to complain about haha. But it's good thing we all followed ALL the rules and regulations of the C&C park! There no lights so break down before it gets dark. I gave it a 4 star because of the FLIES. Hehe, because the community walks their dogs there, the poop were probably left on the grass and that's how flies started to come around. So wear leggings! Other than that, I'm excited to host another event there. Now we know what to expect and we can come a little more prepared. I'll post pictures soon!

This park is LOVELY. Ancient trees tower above you, offering amble shade over the entire playground structure. Cool pebble cement benches low to the cushioned ground surround the jungle gym, an enticing place for parents/guardians to rest while watching their children play. High fence for safety. Full basketball court outdoors and indoors, sprawling level grassy soccer field and baseball diamond, well maintained pool with life guard on duty. Street parking in a quiet sunny neighborhood. This afternoon was a perfect, sun-speckled memory gifted to my children and myself via Booth Park. I can't wait to return, next time with snacks so we can stay for twice as long.

This has become our new favorite playground! The play structure seems to have been updated recently, and it's quite a large one with lots of things to climb. Also one of the rare playground with a swing set!It's set in a residential area, and as far as I can see, the park is well maintained. No dangerous objects lying around, and no homeless folks either. The bathroom is right next to the playground which is huge plus for families with small children. Parking can be a bit of a headache, as there is no parking lot.

Hidden in beautiful Pauoa Valley is probably one of my favorite parks on the whole entire island. I grew up here in the valley and have so many fond memories of times spent with my family and friends here. From Easter egg hunts hosted by the city, and hanging out at the basketball courts after school to Christmas parades hosted around the neighborhood, and playing volleyball in the gym, Booth park holds a special place in my heart.The park itself is of pretty decent size in a residential neighborhood. They have an indoor gym, a pool, and two outdoor basketball courts. There's also a swing set, a playground, and a huge field with two baseball backstops. The park has definitely changed a bit since I was little but all in a good way. There's nothing a little bit of paint, maintenance, and cleaning up can't fix. The jungle gym and playground area recently got a face lift and was replaced with newer equipment as well.The perimeter of the park is lined with huge trees that shade you in the afternoon sun and rustle loudly in the the wind. The park is never usually busy or crowded, making for great social distancing and a great place to sometimes just sit and admire the beautiful valley. There are two picnic tables behind the baseball backstops that are perfect for picnics, or simply just sitting and hanging out.From sports teams practicing on the field, pick up games on the black top outside of the gym, to families hanging out at the playground and swim lessons at the pool, the park is always filled with so much life especially in the afternoon and on the weekend. As someone who lives in the valley, parking or getting to the park is never really an issue--I just walk there. For those visiting, I would suggest carpooling as the only parking available is street parking.

This was our 1st visit to this park that is a hidden gem in Pauoa. Sam the Jack Russell terrier dog loves to explore the surrounding. There are recreational gym, playground, basketball ball court, baseball area field, and swings. Not too many parks have swings. Restroom closes at 4:30 pm. Many big trees and green grass so weather is pretty windy on a Sunday afternoon.

I love this park's shade. Lots of places to sit and watch your kids play at the playground
