A walk around this beautiful park became part of our morning ritual walk. Our hotel was just 2 blocks from the Honolulu Zoo and this beautiful stretch of green space.

I like the closeness of the Honolulu Zoo and Waikiki Beach. It's a good park to walk around. The variety of events is entertaining and enjoying concerts in the Shell has so many memories for me. I miss the Kodak Show.

I love this patch of paradise just on the edge of the metropolis of Waikiki. Go for a walk and bring your tennis rackets because the courts are open to the public for free.

Beautiful large park. Zoo, craft fairs on weekends, soccer games, lovely Banyan trees, great expanses of lawn, the Waikiki Shell for outdoor concerts, usually free yoga at 8am. All this right across the street from Kaimana beach and the Aquarium. Parking is usually easy, also.
