About Koko Head District Park in Honolulu
Koko Head District Park is a 40-acre public park located in the Hawaii Kai neighborhood of Honolulu, Hawaii. The park sits at the base of Koko Crater, offering visitors scenic views of the surrounding landscape.
The park serves as a popular recreational area for both locals and tourists. Its most notable feature is the Koko Crater Railway Trail, also known as the Koko Head Stairs. This challenging hiking trail consists of over 1,000 steps along an abandoned railway track that leads to the summit of Koko Crater. The hike is strenuous but rewards climbers with panoramic views of East Honolulu and the coastline.
In addition to the famous stairs, Koko Head District Park offers a variety of sports facilities and amenities for community use. The park includes several athletic fields, courts, and a gymnasium, making it a hub for local sports activities and events.
The park is open daily from 4:00 AM to 11:00 PM, allowing early risers to tackle the Koko Head Stairs for a sunrise hike. Parking is available on-site, though it can fill up quickly on weekends and holidays due to the popularity of the hiking trail.
Koko Head District Park serves as both a community recreation center and a gateway to one of Oahu's most popular hiking destinations, offering something for fitness enthusiasts, families, and outdoor lovers alike.
