Kailua District Park is a large green space situated in the heart of Kailua Town. Accessible from Kainalu and Kailua Roads, the park hosts the community center, lighted soccer and baseball fields, swimming pool, gymnasium, workout room, basketball, tennis, volleyball, and more. The larger of two parking lots is on the Kainalu side but both have handicapped parking stalls and all parking is free. There is plenty of room for recreation of all kinds, and there are numerous classes held in the community center--many of them free--call or stop by for information.

I have fond memories growing up and having KBA practice on those hot, dark green outdoor basketball courts at Kailua District Park. Located right next to the fire & police station just outside of Kailua town, this district park is one of the best on Oahu. The pool is absolutely awesome. Sure, the water can get really hot during the summer, but the bathrooms aren't as gross as most public bathrooms and the workers are super nice and helpful. During certain sports seasons, it will definitely get crowded (due to tennis lessons, regular swimmers, aerobics classes, yoga, baseball, etc.) so you may need to park in the long lot along the baseball field. It's a bit of a walk if you're heading towards the other side of the park, but not a huge deal. If you're looking for something a bit more intellectually stimulating, the Kailua public library is just a few steps away!! Great location, great facilities, and great people.

Friendship Garden has 72 reviews as of 1/17/2025 and I was wondering why. I think the name explains…read moreit. It's a short, garden trail inside a neighborhood rather than a real hike. As I was walking this trail, my brain is telling me this is a mini Aiea loop trail with great view of the Windward side of Oahu. Parking is a challenge. The location is inside, one way, Kokokahi Place neighborhood so there's only street parking. We were lucky to find spacious area to park. The view here is great considering we only hike up 20-30 minutes. Total trip length was 2 miles. That was little disappointing because I like to get most out of my hikes. I feel like I got ripped off on this hike with little sweat. As for intensity, you do have to climb up but lots of ropes to help you. Luckily it was a dry day so no mud. This trail is quite narrow so it may not be kid friendly. Also, if you're on the taller side, watch out for branches. This is not State trail so it seems like it's not kept up regularly.

If you need an escape from daily life to catch a breath and rekindle friendships, then the…read moreFriendship Garden is the perfect place. This is a very short hike that loops around, so you shouldn't be running into anyone on the narrow pathway. Start right, like driving! There's nothing steep, treacherous, or difficult. The Friendship Garden is very well maintained. Maps and information are provided at the beginning. At the top, you'll find beautiful views Kaneohe Bay. There's also a pathway that leads to another hike that's clearly more difficult and not apart of the Friendship Garden. Warning signs posted! The only difficult thing might be finding this place because it's quite hidden, deep in a residential area. It's located on Kokokahi Pl, which you can reach from Kaneohe Bay Dr. Just drive all the way up, and it'll be to your left. You can only park along the side of the road. Make sure to leave enough space, and also be mindful of the signs! No parking from 6-11AM on Wednesdays and Saturdays, which is probably trash pick up days. Overall, a really nice, easy hike with well maintained pathways. It might be a journey to get there, but it's worth it. Bring friends and make new friends!

Cute, indoor playground with a ton of activities all in a manageable space. Located in the heart of…read moreKailua the location is unassuming among the other small shops. The location has a parking lot. Upon entry you are struck by the amount of activities all in one space that really is hours of play where you can see everything and keep track of your kids. The double trampoline is a hit. The colorful ball pit where the kids can dive through and slide into are points of interest. A large climbing maze like structure with suspended bridges and padded stairs. Market area for kids to pretend to shop for foods. Ice cream trolley that's kid sized. Tiny spinning carousel that continuously goes around and around. All these activities provide hours of entertainment and fun for the kids. It's a fun neighborhood hangout for the little ones to enjoy.

Another indoor playground for the keiki? YES!!!…read more It seems like over the last few years, business owners are realizing how sought after these indoor playgrounds are for working parents, stay at home parents, young kids, and old! Location is in Kailua, right off the main drag on Hamakua Street (look for the bright yellow building). The parking lot has about a half dozen stalls on the right hand side (beware you may be towed if you park on the left side). I asked the manager where to park as the signage wasn't very clear, so be warned. Pricing: Rates are per child: $15 for one hour, $20 two, $27 for three, and so on. Adults are $3 each. Grip socks are required for all (customers are allowed to bring their own). They also offer all day rates and monthly passes (M-F only). They also feature a stamp card for loyal customers: buy 10 sessions, get one free! There's a bunch of toys and entertainment for all ages: a carousel, obstacle course, slide, Lego stations, and play supermarket. A few unique stations are the rock climbing wall, concert/band area (with drums, piano, ukulele, and microphones), and a big screen TV that featured cartoons for the kids. Open seven days a week. The kids love the trampolines, lego sets, ball pit, and rock climbing wall. Restrooms available. Thanks Hi Keiki Playground for bringing the FUN to Kailua! We wish you all the joy and success!
