Makiki District Park

Nice community park to bring our kids at. They hold the Makiki district i9 sports here. The was clean, grass was cut, and field was huge. We noticed that there's a community garden, a pool, and a somewhat clean playground also located at this park. The only junkie thing was there wasn't too many trees planted that could give off shade, so many families had their umbrellas out.

This isn't the nicest or best maintained park that I've been to, but it's in the middle of a metropolitan area and it's nice that there's a fair amount of green space. There are tennis courts and a small kids playground area along with a community garden. It could probably use more attention from the City or whoever is responsible for maintenance, lots of dead areas of vegetation. There are also several buildings that appear to be abandoned and dilapidated.

Excusing the unfortunate condition of the male urinal (apologies for the graphic photo) the park is quite large for the vicinity considering the very crowded neighborhood.I used to live nearby and I would come here to goof off or run the perimeter of the expanse for a little exercise. There's a library contained within the general area. Go explore the community garden! Cool place and very needed in the densely packed mix of high and low rise dwellings.

Located in Makiki area where there are at least 2 parking lots. There address is Keeaumoku This city and county of Honolulu park is the best because there is library, recreation room by library, swimming pool, basketball court, grassy area for recreation, and community garden. One stop play and fun in sun for people living in this area. There are no playground equipments for children.Several blue benches to sit on but some are not under the trees.We went on Sunday afternoon around 3 pm and it was super sunny and somewhat hot.

This is an awesome park for people watching! Even though we live close to the park we rarely use it, but on a whim my hubby decided to move our family and friends tennis date here instead of Ala Moana Park. Since it was a Sunday the courts were full of people and we watched groups of seniors play tennis, kids playing basketball and my favorite, an entire unicycling troupe dancing their hearts away to music. I exclaimed: "Where's the popcorn... because this is just like the circus!" Other than the amazing people watching there's also a community pool, a community garden, the Makiki library, a playground and a huge open field which is used frequently for soccer games. After our tennis game we took our daughter to the field to teach her to ride her bike without training wheels. There are definitely an assortment of interesting characters at this park and a homeless encampment by the library, but for the most part I feel as though it's fairly safe in the daytime. Sadly, there is the random schizophrenic homeless man who talks to himself and walks in circles all day long but he didn't bother us. This is an awesome park to bring your dog to play catch and whenever I see people with their animals it seriously makes me super envious because the dogs are so happy! Hope you can visit this park with your family or pet and enjoy what it means to understand why we lucky we live Hawai'i!

This review is about the pool facilities. POOL HOURS (through August 1, 2014)Lap Swim* Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri 11:30AM-1 PMHalf Open Pool, Half Lap Swim* Mon - Fri 3:30PM-5PM* Sat - Sun 1PM-4PM--Closed July 4th & 11th--There's plenty of parking out front - with tons of trees. Yay shade! The facilities are not spa worthy "clean", but for a public pool - it's alright. There's plenty of toilets, showers (full and foot rinse). There's even cubbies to store your personal belongings.I usually attend the late afternoon 1/2 open, 1/2 lap sessions for lap swimming. The lap swim portion of the pool has about 5-6 lanes open. It's never too crowded and the pool has the perfect temperature. There's always at least 2 lifeguards present; 1 of them is always roaming around the pool perimeter. So no need to worry about drowning, plus the pool is only 3ft deep! (; Other amenities are the use of paddle boards and leg floats to focus on your arms and legs and a clock if you didn't bring your own.There's many pools in the Honolulu area, but this one is the one I go to the most!Happy swimming! (:

Nice little park in the Makiki area. This is great for kids and seniors. There is a swimming pool, basketball court, tennis court, volleyball court, and a library. The other parts of the park includes a garden and big grass area where sometimes you see soccer practices.

I live nearby so I Usually come in the morning around 8-10, find myself out in the sun solo on the bball court or perhaps a few players out there shooting baskets. The tennis courts always seem full no matter what time of the day it is. Good thing I don't play tennis. But the pool always seem empty though I don't use it. There's a small playground for kids with a slide, and a open field grass area for the soccer players or flag football guys. There's also a skate park area near the basketball courts. And The bathroom is near the grass field area. Parking is on keaumoku or on wilder street or in the parking lot. You can hear the freeway and the sound of many ambulances passing by. But all in all, a clean overall playground for kids and all ages who look to be active in town. 5* for its location to me :)

I love this park. We spend a lot of time here swimming, doing zumba and yoga, going to summer fun, playing on the playground, having gatherings with friends. It's nice and shady in a good number of places, has tennis courts, swimming pool, volleyball courts, basketball courts, a big field, an auditorium, community gardens, and a kiln. The staff are like family. There is a fair amount of parking - it is, after all, a community park to which you should be able to walk. The park is nice and clean for the most part, but the bathrooms could use a little love, and this summer the AC units definitely need some help. We are sad that the swings got taken down - no one knows why - perhaps they'll be back? We certainly will be!

Not a very interesting place, homeless and flies bitting you on your legs! Not enough tables and benches to sit at.
