Kaimukī Community Park

Park Overview

Located in the heart of Kaimukī neighborhood, this quiet park is a popular gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. While not massive in size, Kaimukī Community Park offers a green escape within Honolulu's urban landscape.

Sitting right along Waialae Avenue, the park's location is convenient - you're just steps away from some of Kaimukī's eateries, making it easy to combine outdoor time with grabbing a bite afterward.

Facilities

The park offers a nice mix of indoor and outdoor spaces that cater to various activities. The open grassy areas provide perfect spots to throw down a blanket for a picnic, toss a frisbee, or simply lounge with a good book.

At the heart of the park stands its indoor gymnasium, which buzzes with activity throughout the year. From recreational programs to community events, this versatile space hosts various activities throughout the year, providing an indoor option regardless of weather conditions.

Sports Amenities

If you're looking to get active, Kaimukī offers several outdoor options. The basketball courts attract players of all skill levels, from casual shooters to more organized games.

For racquet enthusiasts, there are tennis courts available for matches or practice sessions. In recent years, pickleball has taken the park by storm - regulars often bring their own nets to set up games on the courts. The growing pickleball scene has become quite popular, with players of all ages regularly using the court areas.

Family-Friendly Features

Kids have their own dedicated space with a playground area that's primarily designed for older children. The playground includes swings and mounted binoculars that give curious kids a fun way to survey their surroundings.

It's worth noting that the playground equipment isn't particularly suitable for very young children - the swings hang rather high off the ground. You should also keep a close eye on little ones due to the park's proximity to busy Waialae Avenue.

Access and Parking

Let's be honest - parking isn't the park's strong suit. Street parking right next to the grounds is limited, so you might need to park a block or two away. The spots are metered until 5 PM, so bring some change if you're visiting during the day.

If street parking proves too challenging, there's a municipal parking lot within walking distance that offers an alternative option.

Management

The City and County of Honolulu's Department of Parks and Recreation keeps things running smoothly here, maintaining the facilities for everyone to enjoy. The park welcomes visitors daily from 5 AM to 10 PM.

The park's central position in Kaimukī makes it a convenient recreational space for the neighborhood.
