If your child shows an interest in skateboarding, you need Proper Rideshop!…read more My husband and I are not skaters, we didn't know exactly what to do when our son showed an interest in skateboarding because we couldn't really teach him how to ride. We were recommend to seek out proper Rideshop for training by a local skate shop. He started with Proper and very quickly became a great skater. He is so happy with the coaches and how they are great mentors and motivators... he is excited to show them when he finally gets that new trick and they are just as excited for him. We love Proper!! The staff, coaches, facility and all the camps and trainning opportunities are absolutely wonderful. I would give them more stars if possible !

Dragon Boat Race 2022…read more When I first saw the posting on Facebook, I just couldn't imagine a cardboard dragon boat on land. Somehow, Chinatown 808, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and the Honolulu Chinese Jaycees, together with the sponsors American Savings Bank and USA Federal Credit Union, had a great idea to revitalize Chinatown with this event... At A'ala Park. Most residents of Honolulu avoid A'ala Park because of the homeless who hang out around the park. However, A'ala Park is known also for its popular Skate Park here. Some of the features of A'ala Park are: Small, free parking lot Water fountain (I wouldn't recommend it) Restroom (I think it was cleaned up for us) Basketball Court Large, open, flat grassy area I usually just drive past this park. I only stayed here for seven hours because of the Dragon Boat Race on 7-30-22. Special thanks to American Savings Bank for the Security. They watched our belongings while we were on the field and chased away a flasher who ran across the park!

Where is this park located? If you live on the east side........Waialae-Iki Park is just next door to the Blue Ribbon school - Kalani High School (known for their powerhouse football team! Buwahahahahaha! J/k!). The park itself features a very large "green grass field" which I find most times is used for soccer activities. This park also has a basketball court, a jungle gym apparatus so that the little ones and play & have fun. There is also a restroom, picnic tables & park benches on the park premises. Parking is available, as there is a private parking lot. If the parking lot is full, there is lots of free street parking along the perimeter of the park. With all that's going on during this difficult time, I'm glad the City & County of Honolulu reopened the parks recently, as it gives us a place to exercise and to escape from our lock down in our homes.

The vibe is super local--families, couples, runners, and groups all posted up with snacks and music. Sunset here is the main event. If you go late afternoon, the views are unreal and it's such a good way to end the day. It can get busy on weekends, but there's usually still space to spread out if you walk a little farther. Pro tip: bring a towel or mat, some drinks/snacks, and go a little before sunset to grab a good spot. Definitely a must if you want a simple, beautiful outdoor hang in town.

Really enjoyed the time together with my kids. So peaceful while we bond and laughed. But.....this park was full of homeless and cops every where. Mixed feelings were rolling in like if we should be worried or if it was safe at the park. There were tons of people, but everyone minded their own business so no one bothered us. I set the thought aside of something bad was going to happen so I can enjoy the day. We went to the beach took pictures and soak in the beauty. The water was so warmed and clear. Wanted to stay longer and dip in, but my son was looking forward to the arcade elsewhere. Good quick spot to stop by intaking breathtaking views of Honolulu.

The employees were really nice and helpful. The shoes, clothes, and board selection was also nice.read more

My son loves coming here, we bring a big bag of oats and feed the ducks, chickens, and birds. Be careful though as the birds go CRAZY here. The moment you throw some food, they come flying in droves. Haha so if you are not a bird person, forget bringing feed, haha. Right now there are 3 cute ducklings and a handful of baby chicks. So tiny and cute. The pond also has a bunch of Koi fish and fat tilapias. Great little spot to relax, small picnic, and get some fun feeding animals. Across the street is also a park with a playground and basketball courts.

They absolutely loved being here at the springs, I know, because they didn't even want to leave when I offered to take them to the playground just across the street. They looooved seeing the ducks and koi fish most! The pigeons were a bit much. We had sat in the little bleacher looking area, but had to move because all the pigeons started pooping after some kids fed them... I brought then to the Kunawai Springs specifically because I knew about the ducks, although I hadn't been here before! We had so much fun though! We're doing a 1000 hours outside challenge this year, 2024, so I've been looking into different outdoor activities for our family to partake in! We'll definitely be coming back here, the kids enjoyed it so much. Coming here brought back so much memories for many of our family members. I brought the kiddos here, took lots of pictures, and when I posted them, they all messaged me that they used to all come here when they were younger, and used to even swim I the pond?!?! Anyways, lots of fun! We'll be back!
