Paki Community Park

Paki Community Park is located in Honolulu, Hawaii. This community park offers a blend of recreational facilities and natural beauty in the heart of Waikiki. Situated near the Honolulu Zoo, the park provides a shaded oasis beneath several large monkeypod trees at the base of Diamond Head.

The park is a popular gathering spot for families and children, featuring a playground area with equipment designed for ages 5 to 12. The play structure includes two slides, monkey bars, and climbing ladders. One of the highlights of the park is its set of four traditional swings, which offer views of Diamond Head when swinging high enough.

Paki Community Park boasts a large open field suitable for various activities and informal sports. The park's layout includes multiple picnic tables, providing ample space for outdoor meals and gatherings. The abundance of shade from the monkeypod trees makes it a comfortable spot for visitors throughout the day.

For sports enthusiasts, the park offers several facilities. There are two lined volleyball courts, though visitors need to bring their own nets. Additionally, the park features a basketball court, adding to its recreational options.

The park's location next to the Waikiki Fire Station occasionally provides an extra point of interest for children, with fire engine sightings. Its proximity to the Honolulu Zoo also allows park-goers to occasionally glimpse giraffes peering over the zoo fence, particularly when using the swings.

Paki Community Park serves as a vibrant community space, hosting various events and activities. The park pavilion is used for Department of Parks & Recreation classes and Summer Fun programs, though registration is required for these activities.
