See LOW RATED YELLOW STARS, don't be too quick to make a judgment call and decide not to go. Sometimes it's best to check it out for yourself than to assume it won't meet your expectations. This is exactly what happened to me! As we turned the corner bend, "Whoaaaaa this park is spacious and the playground is colorful"! Need to say both me and my son was super excited to check it out! 1) This is Park has its own lot. No need to worry about Parking on the street like most. There are ample parking. 2) Restroom is not your typical Park Restroom! From the outside is a small building on the right side of the playground. The Women's Restroom is very clean inside with 2 stalls (1 small / 1 large) and the best part it has *Baby Changing Station*, *Seat Covers* & *Soap Dispenser*! If you need to bring your baby in a stroller, no need to worry about getting the wheels dirty and wet. 3) Can't say enough how the colors really brightens the mood and has my son excited to play! It's safe for ages 3+ and with a fun challenge in the middle to get their mind stimulated. 4) Here's a fun twist, on the left side there's a Fitness Equipment Area. It's super convenient to incorporate a quick workout while your keiki play at the playground (of course, if they're old enough to play without assistance). Either way, there's playing space for both parents and keiki! 5) If you're an Ohana with a Family Dog, there's also a fenced off Doggy Area to the far left! I haven't been inside, but from the outside it looks quite roomy for the doggies to run around. 6) Alongside with the great variety of choices, there's a large field of grass! Perfect space to have practices, large groups to workout, let the keiki run around loose, and even kite flying! As large as this park is, you may want to bring an umbrella or baby tent for shade as there's not really anywhere to relax other than a tree in the back or near the restrooms. Upside, there's 3 tables if you want to kau kau as well! Hoalauna Community Park hits all the aspects you'd want for everyone! Let me tell you, it's a "ONE STOP SHOP"! read more

What more can you ask for in a community park? Hoalauna provides something for everyone in your family, no matter their age! Your fur babies, too! 2 dog parks, multiple exercise equipments, playground for your little ones, picnic tables for you parents and kupuna's, an entire 30+ space parking lot, CLEAN restrooms; need I say more? There is also a ginormous grassy area that can be great to let your little ones one freely without getting too close to the road. One downside to the park; there isn't much shade. Aside from the minimal tree shade, and the shade from the umbrella partially covering the playground, there's not much to work with. Fixable by bringing your own umbrella (: We love this park! Mahalo to the previous yelper who mentioned that they allow parties here (with a permit). I'll definitely be looking into that for future events! read more

I am AMAZED!! at the amount of community parks that are available in a 10 mile radius from my home. This is one of them. We love this park for many reasons: convenience, available parking, public bathrooms and a children's playground. But what we love the most is the fact there is a fenced doggie park - for small dogs (under 30 lbs) and larger dogs (over 30 lbs). Up until recently there hasn't been a dispenser or availability of dog waste bags but todays visit revealed that someone has filled a make-shift crate with plastic bags for use. There is now also a trash receptacle for the dog waste just outside the gate. There are a couple of benches and water faucets with bowls for your canines. It's a huge run area for your furr-kid(s) to play in!! I have a feeling that this park is still a work in progress because little changes such as the trash receptacles and trash bag "dispenser" are new. I hope Parks/Rec are listening or reading these posts requesting a plea for more trees. It still behooves me that developers are so eager to chop and bulldoze trees. In places I've lived (ex. Virginia) builders were required to leave a percentage of designated trees on property when building new housing and parks. We want those big, BEAUTIFUL, GROWN trees in our parks. My only gripe is that this park lacks mature trees for shade. My furr-kids love a romp in the confines of a fenced park but eventually they tire and want to lay under some shade - and in this case, the only shade available is under the bench I'm sitting on (and that's the only reason why this place gets a 4 star). I love that this community is family centered and there are many activities that are specifically geared just for that. Also, there are WIDE, OPEN SPACES (cue in DIXIE CHICKS)....plenty of SPACE to fly a kite or mini-plane , have your kid(s) drive their motorized cars/trucks, etc., and basically LOTS of space to pitch your tent and have a family picnic. read more

This is a good family park. They have everything from wide open field for the kids to run around or fly a kite (no trees). They have a small playground for the kids. There is a lot of parking, luckily we have never encountered an issue with that. For the adults, they have a workout area with bars, beams, and more. It is in the same area as the playground so it's really easy to get in your workout. For all you doggie owners, there is also an eclosed park for the dogs. There are several picnic benches, so pack up and have a family day! read more

Huge gaming area. So it seems kids today love to stay home and play video games, why when you have a whole area like this to play? The community park is large. So large, that during the year the EWA community holds movies and swap meets here. There was going to be an Easter Egg Hunt but Mother Nature didn't comply. It's so large, that coaches bring there teams here to practice flag football, soccer, and I even saw a few teens practicing marching band. And I believe you can hold a family party here. I did see a bounce house and people celebrating a couple of times. The place is nicely maintained. Trash in the trash cans instead of on the grass and the parking lot stalls are big. There are a couple of tables and a few benches. Personally I would lay out a blanket on the beautiful thick grass. All the exercise benches and kids playground equipment works. And I'm happy to say there is no graffiti anywhere. There's a large restroom area and that's also well maintained. And occasionally you find a police officer catching up on their paperwork in the parking lot. At the far left is a dog park. Great for your furry friends to run around and smell each other's butts. I recommend not placing you blanket near the dog park. Overall five stars. All the equipment works and no ugly graffiti. The place would be more perfect with a BBQ grill but that's a liability for the association so I gotta understand. Now excuse me, I'm putting my phone down and enjoy the simple things in life. I suggest you do too. M read more

The park is nice, as it has a place fenced off for dogs to play. However, if you want to have any event their, or set up a tent, table or anything like that you have to get a permit that cost $10 dollars an hour if you live in the community and $20 an hour if you do not have someone sponsoring you that lives in the community. They also charge a $75 deposit that is refunded in 7 days as long as the park is not damaged. The only problem is their is others using the park while you are using it and no one comes and signs off saying the park is not damaged when you are done. It would be nice to have signs up as most residents do not even know they have to have a permit. Their many other parks close by that are free this one should be the same if it is just a gender reveal or birthday party something simple like that. read more

The Good + Spacious Park + 2 Playgrounds + 2 Dog GATED dog parks. It's just an open space for them to roam without a leash + Decent Parking + Clean Bathrooms + Out door workout area + Different sports practice in the area It Could Be better: + More Seating areas + Covering for the playground + Have different things at the dog park. Hills, trees, small pond, etc. read more

This park is Huuuuuuge lol. They have an open field area that can host multiple sports at the same time (flag football, soccer etc) and also 2 jungle gyms for the keikis to play on. When they get tired of the a jungle gym, they can go over to the outdoors workout area that is well maintained. Parking is never an issue here, their parking lot has very good amount of spaces available. Their bathrooms are very well maintained, and the plus side to this is that they are located directly next to the jungle gyms. That way you don't have to travel half the length of the park just to do you business like other parks. The one thing you'll notice here is that they have 2 dog parks that allows yiur furry animal the freedom to run full sprint if they choose to. The dog park is pretty straight forward. No hills, no digging area. In fact the only things that's in the dog park itself is trash bins, and a bench for the owners to sit on. I love this park because this is where we play football with my kids, and also a great place t9 get in a circuit workout in. My kids love this place because of the fun things to do. My only pet peeve is that the shade is basically non-existent. You have but 1 tree , and if it's hot out and someone else is under it, you're basically out of luck lol. Most parents fi d shade under the small available space in the bathroom area lol. Overall my wife and I will continue to bring our kids here because, well they just love it here. Aloha. read more

Hoalauna Community Park - Jungle gym, and work out station located. - Parks Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

This review is for the PARK area. Really nice and great play equipment for the kids. Unreal as it's less than a mile from Geiger Park -that is totally trashed. Please keep this park safe and in working order! No graffiti and everything is brand new. Bathrooms are clean and fully stocked with everything needed, even a baby changing station. Parking lot is newly paved and has a lot of parking. The only thing that could improve this location is some trees for shade and a few more tables/benches. Will definitely be bringing the kids by again! read more

Very spacious park located in Ewa Beach. Park is located just down the road from the Hawaii Prince Golf course and more down and across the street is the Laulani Village shopping center. This park offers a jungle gym area for the keikis, a little workout station, and also shares the area with a GATED dog park. The bathrooms are not too far away and have always been well maintained. A bulletin board is erected by the bathrooms so that you can keep up to date with the events that are held in the area (i.e. movie at the park, swap meets, etc..) My kids love coming to this place because when they get tired of the jungle gym area, they can swing on over to the work out station and practice their gymnastics moves on the pull up bars and whatnot. They only problem, as with most parks we frequent, is the shade. Meaning, it's non-existent! Most moms would agree but I suggest you pack up a folding chair and park your butt by the bathrooms, cause that's pretty much the only shaded area there is. Other than that, it's a great park to let your little monsters run loose...get them good and tired and they'll take a good nap afterwards! read more

Cute little park. Came here for an Easter event for Ewa by Gentry. I appreciated the little parking lot in front of the park itself. The park that we go to only has street parking. The jungle gym was clean, no graffiti. There were nearby tables to sit on, but no benches right next to the play area. They also had an exercise area for adults with boards that had the instructions for some of the workouts. read more

Hoalauna Community Park - Parks Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

We love this park! It is a wonderful appropriately age playground for my 2 year old daughter. I feel safe knowing that there aren't any large open spaces for her to fall out and the stairs is easy for her to climb up and down. I also like that there is a workout area for the adults. The surrounding area can get muddy but then again this park is pretty much a big open field. The dog park is decently sized for both small and big dogs. They have clean bathrooms and lots of parking. It is a 5 minute walk from the new Laulani shopping center. read more

I came here for the dog park. They have 2 areas, small dogs and large dogs. Very green and open. The seating is very limited. Most of the time people stand. Flies. There is a lot of flies. Haha. I mean, it's just the way it is. I recommend wearing loose pants. If you come here on a Sunday morning... there is no dog poop. The maintenance takes care of the place. It's some dog owners that do NOT pick up their dog's poop.. They make it unpleasant. So people.. pick up your dog's poop. read more

Nice community park. The playground is well kept and the restrooms are clean. There isn't a lot of shade at this park though, so the equipment does get pretty hot in the afternoon. read more

I am a first timer in Hawaii. Never been and call me crazy- I traveled with my husband, our 4 kids, my parents and my youngest sister. That's a total of 9 people. We stayed in a home in Ewa Beach, one of the newer developments where there are a ton of houses and you can easily get lost. Luckily- the park was nearby making it easy for me to remember exactly where we were staying. After 4 days of exploring the island of Oahu- today was one of those days we wanted to take it easy. The park was literally a 10 minute walk. Great for my whole family to just get out of the house and get some light exercise. Once we got to the park- I was able to see how big it actually was. There is a huge open field to run, a lot. There are also kid friendly toys, a workout station (my favorite) and of course, the dog(s) area. It was a nice, well maintained area for my kids to roam free. People are really nice as well. My daughter made a friend as soon as we got there. Really enjoyed it. read more

This is a very good dog park. The park is a decent size, high fences, seperate section for large and small dogs, parking is available, near street lights so if you go late you can still see your dog, and location, location, location. Some of the negative things about the park and why it is not 5 stars is that it has no water. I have a bulldog that needs water and ther is no water yet anywhere so bring your own. Also the trash can is on the outside of your park so you will need to either leave your dog unsupervised or hold the used bag until you leave. Overall I'm just glad that there is a dog nearby that is big enough for my dogs to run freely and tire themselves. read more

This is a brand new park to the Ewa Gentry community that has a playground for keiki's with the rubber ground, an area for the active adults with bars to do situps, chin ups, etc and a dog park! There is a separate area for small and big dogs with trash cans at each entrance to throw away your dogs poop. There is a parking lot but no street parking and It gets 4 out of 5 stars because i haven't seen what the inside of the public restroom looks like yet. Just glad that they finally used that big space for a park and it's not a big pile of dirt with an ugly orange fence anymore! read more

I live within walking distance and I love taking my dog to the dog park. It's convenient and great way to see other dogs and neighbors. Some people have some interesting breeds! My dog is half pit bull and dachshund itself so it's pretty awesome seeing other mixed dogs. Usually kids soccer teams practice here during weekdays so there's lots of kids. But it's all good cuz the field is hugggggge! There's space for everyone. There's usually always available parking too for those who drive too. Plus it is a PokeStop for those of you who play PokemonGo! Super duper convenient for those of you who live nearby! read more

Went today with my fur baby and there was so much poop that owners didn't pick up. please clean up after your fur baby, and keep a look out. We all want to enjoy ourselves and so do our fur babies! read more

I am only giving this park 3 stars for the lack of up-keep on the park and the disappointment that it gives Ewa Beach Parks and Rec. Dept. Sure it is an awesome area for dogs to run and stretch their legs if they have been locked in a kennel or cooped up in a house all day; and maybe they think it looks amazing because its an area to run. But to everyone else, it needs work, BIG TIME! There is a mud puddle half the time for the apparently broken pipe under the park. There is hardly any grass because no one wants to take care of the park. It honestly looks like a dumpy park. PLUS! My dogs have to be put on medication because of something on the grass that is giving them an allergy on their skin. EWA BEACH....FIX THE DOG PARK!!! read more

Cute park. Just a fenced off flat area with no trees. There is running water and benches. There are NO provided doggy bags for the dreaded Number 2's that we all watch for, so bring your own bags. When i went this past week, the parks were muddy and flooded and the Big Dog park was inaccessible as it was like a swamp. I don't know if this was from sprinklers or rain as it had only rained a little that week. Overall, a nice little fenced area for your dogs to gallivant. read more

My friends mock me for living in Ewa Beach and the traffic I must endure to get to and from work. Still, I wouldn't trade it for the world because I live in a great community with not one, but two parks for my family to enjoy. Hoalauna is HOT. That said, it's enjoyable when timed right. Go in the morning 8am-11am and avoid the afternoon til about 4pm. You'll see people with the 4 legged friends in the large/small dog areas. Toddlers and little children enjoy the clean and safe playground equipment. Further ahead you'll see flag football practice going on. And every few months Ewa by Gentry will hold the Slack Key Festival and Pride for Ewa here. The area is well patrolled by Gentry employees and Community Watch Teams, so I know I am always safe at Hoalauna. read more

Nice clean park. Dog and child friendly. Early morning and early evening visits are best, since the weather is cooler.

This post is not so much about the park, but more about the other dogs and owners. I have been a bunch of times with my dog. She loves people and dogs. I went the other night and the second I opened the gate to let her in to play a few dogs went to her, I was thinking to smell her and do the dog thing. But instead, a dog attacked her and actually bite her. We didn't get an apology from the owner at all, which is rude. I apologize for even the smallest of things. Also didn't think to get the owners contact information since she looked fine at the time. But I did have to spend the night at the vet after I noticed her head bleeding. I will not be going back here for a long time, if ever again. Which stinks since its close to the house and my dog just loves to play. If you have a dog that is even the slightest bit aggressive, they don't belong at the dog park. I am thinking this is not the first time this dog has attacked another dog. read more

Great dog park for small and big dogs - be aware that after rainy days, it can get a little muddy so be prepared. The park itself has a lot of space - I like to fly a kite with my nephew over there but during the school year, they have different kinds of sport practices over there. During rush hour, it can be pretty busy with kids. Make sure you're out by 6-7pm because the guard will close the entrance. Nice playground and fitness area. Bathrooms are pretty clean too. read more

Cute park in Ewa maintained by the Gentry Association. It has a nice grassy area, restroom and a dog park! My only complaint is there is only one picnic table and no shade. Come on Ewa is hot need some shade or at least more trees! read more

Great park for all. They completed the dark park. Great restrooms that are alway clean. Nice playground for the kids. Good parking but it can get full with all of the people using it for different team sports practice. The two bad things are the field and the lack of proper drainage, it can become a muddy field after a good rain. The other thing is the lack of a clearly define practice area that should have been set up by Ewa Gentry. Fix those and them it will be a 5 star park. read more

Great dog park! Has 2 fenced areas for dogs under 30 lbs and bigger doggies. They provide water and bags. The bathrooms are very clean and actually have soap! Two playgrounds for the keiki and an outdoor workout area for the adults. Plenty of parking and shade. The only thing I didn't like was the grass is kinda sharp to the touch and has burs that would stick to the dogs hair. Such a pain to pull them out. read more

Almost forgot.....Every Now and Then they do have Community Events held at this Park as well! Last Week Friday was Watching a Movie under the Stars! =) read more

i like that there is an area close to home but unfortunately who ever built the place didnt give a lot of thought to where they put the water. It needs a cement foundation and a drain or some place for the water to flow instead of making the ground muddy and smelly. read more

HOT. The developers failed to either leave any trees standing or plant new ones. The playground is okay, but with no shade, it's miserable after about 0900. The dog park is subpar: No poop bags, zero shade, and a mud pit. This is hawaii folks...ewa beach, at that...you need a little shade. Terrible execution for the dog park area. It's too bad because hawaii has a very small number of dog parks in proportion to the number of people. read more
