Kalihi Valley District Park

Great place to go swimming nice big clean swimming pool a big parking lot that you share with HPD. They have plenty of lifeguards to keep you safe and let you know all the rules . Bathrooms a little far away though. Kids can't wear floaty devices you need to put your hair up if it's past your shoulders and you need to shower before you go into the pool that's fair. They have sections wear you can swim and a place wear you can swim laps up and down the length of the pool. Kiddie pool wasn't open when we went.

Great park with huge rec center, olympic sized pool with separate roll in/wading pool, showers, baseball/soccer field, basketball courts, 3 lighted tennis courts with full backboard. Right in back of the police station and Dole Middle School. Lots of parking.

The pool is great!! Always super clean, the lifeguarding staff are super friendly, and the field is nice and open. There are some things that need updating (ie, the bathrooms) and sometimes there's unsavory behavior in the park but for the most part it's a beautiful park with lots of opportunities for fun!

Best pool and staff ever. I swim after 4:30 and alway get a lane. The lifeguards are nice and make me feel welcome

We are going here for the free toddler swim class. I live in Kalihi Valley and have never been to this pool. Just when I set up my son's swim class, covid happened! So we weren't able to attend. I must say though, the service I received when I called to book a class was exceptional! I can't remember who I spoke with but she was so friendly and informative. I really hope we can sign up again once all this is over. What a wonderful place to have in our community. The playground looks great, I drove by to drop off my mail in voter ballot and everything looked clean and safe, esp since it was right next to the police station. Looking forward to frequenting this place in the future.

Great park with great facilities. I know some people may be hesitant to take a stroll to this park due to being within walking distance from numerous housing projects such as Kuhio Park Terrace, and Kamehameha IV housing. Don't worry. This park is very safe and there is the police station right next to it. This park has a field, numerous courts, basketball court, tennis court, indoor basketball court (in gym) , pool, and boxing facility. This park has alot of cool activities for all ages for their spring, summer, fall, and winter sessions. Ask an employee about their classes and what they offer. The bathrooms do need some updating but other than that the facility is well-kept and the staff are very nice. Great place for families.

Kalihi valley district park usually belongs to the local residents who call themselves home and use the facilities to play. There's a swimming pool and a gym to play basketball, among other sports.It is pretty cool to hang out here recently when I could have went home on recent afternoon after a tough day at the office. Truth be told that I came here to hang out with a friend who wanted to hang out at the swimming pool to do laps. I never was a swimmer, but just to hang out and not have to worry about anything but my thoughts is always a good thing. I do enjoy people watching though and Kalihi valley district park decidedly serves that purpose to the letter. I ended up walking around the premises and looked around the park, taking in the beauty and the landscaping that Kalihi valley has to offer. While I would not want this come here after dark, this facility is the real deal and you can do almost anything here. Play with your kids at the pool or do a work out here, as well as just enjoy the open spaces that the city and county of Honolulu had provided for the residents and visitors to this area. Do come here before dark if possible, since the park is in the neighborhood of public housing properties nearby and is often a scene where illegal activities can occur on a daily basis - largely at night. Just got to be careful and you should be alright. For the most part though, the landscaping and the area that the Kalihi valley district park sits on is beautiful and the buildings are constructed pretty nice, especially the gymnasium and the swimming pool itself. On the day I visited, I basically was here for about 2 hours before it got dark and we left the area before stuff tends to happen here. Coming here during the daylight hours will be fine.Just be aware of your surroundings and you'll have fun here. Kalihi Valley district park is maintained and beautified by the fine folks of the city and county of Honolulu. You probably would not find much of a homeless issue here, but they are around and just need to be careful of any suspicious activity in the park while you're there and report it to authorities. With that said, I watched my friend swim laps around the pool during their free sessions. You would need to call the facility directly for pool hours and for gymnasium hours, if you plan on playing basketball there. The basketball courts are petty cool and it definitely brings me back to my high school days when I could not even dunk a basketball, but I could shoot a 3 pointer without much difficulty. These days, I usually run and run very long while having fun doing so. Kalihi valley district park is located at 1911 Kamehameha IV Road in the heart of 96819 area code. Since this is a neighborhood park, entry fees are non existent and totally free of charge! That is awesome for those of us who want to do something active without having to spend much money doing so. Getting fit here can be very inexpensive, so it's always a good idea to come to hang out here at Kalihi valley district park and get active and fit!Parking options are readily available here, via street parking. You're basically in a residential area, so anywhere that has a free space without a fire hydrant or somewhere you can't park, you should be okay. If you are like me, bus routes 1L, 2, and 2L come through this part of Kalihi, but you would have to get off on North School Street and walk on Kamehameha IV Road to get to the park itself. Kamehameha shopping center is nearby too, so you could get your food and drinks there before coming to the park for a day filled with fun and excitement at a reasonable cost. The park itself is a wonderful use of land to help beautifully illustrate the artistic side of the city. While my time here was shorter than I wanted, I would like to come back here when time allows. Its definitely a nice park to come here anytime of the day and including weekends too. The park is pretty clean but I would watch out for the homeless people that tend to migrate here from time to time. Still enjoyable for everyone and everyone to enjoy nature and have fun doing so. Come on down and you'll have fun pondering the meaning of life. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local!A+

From the baseball field, to multiple indoor and outdoor basketball courts, tennis courts, swimming pools, and a weekly farmer's market, Kalihi Valley District Park is good place to stop by. The facilities are a little run down, but they are still good enough to use. Parking is plentiful and traffic is nonexistent on the weekends. The swimming pools were locked when I stopped by today, but they looked well maintained. There might be some sort of schedule for public use. Overall, I like coming here. Just remember to bring an umbrella or sunscreen. There is not much shade.

Though it's a very nice park, swimming pool, gym, basketball and tennis courts and one should feel safe since its located next to the police department. There's a nice size parking lot. Though the police uses one row of the parking spaces. The Akita Sakima Center is in need of an upgrade. The facility is rundown, their community room has no ceiling fans and can get a bit hot but with the windows open, it does have a nice breeze that comes through. I think the City should stop spending money on the useless rail and put some money into upgrading these facilities.

Enrolled my son in the Learn to Swim, Tiny Tots free swim classes here so he would learn the basic swim skills and build his confidence of floating in the water without his swim floaties. He was already comfortable with being in the water so he really enjoyed his swim lessons.The classes were held on Sundays (total 10 sessions) and Ms. Dana had a great rapport with the children. She help the children get familiar with the water/pool and become comfortable floating on their front and back in the small training pool on the first day. She also taught the children to control their breath by blowing bubbles. The classes progressed from breath control and floating, to proper posture and kicking in the main pool. Pool toys was allowed to be played with at the end of each class.
