Bathroom smells like spoiled kimchee. So-much-so, that when my 5 year old daughter needed to go bathroom she refused to go to the toilet and went by a tree. Wooden play area can be too big to where you lose visual of your kids but the other area (plastic side) is for the smaller kids. Oldest son saw a rat go into one of the holes of the wooden playground. It's still a fun pitstop to play at. read more

Cute little playground for your keiki located across the beach. Very clean and spacious for a couple of hours of play time. Kids enjoyed the swings and slides. Loved the wooden structures which made it so appealing to enjoy. Great park to also have a picnic with your family. If you are looking for a good atmosphere to spend time with your keiki, this is the spot in Kauai. read more

What a great hidden gem! We had some time to kill before our red-eye out of Kauai and my husband found this place - the PERFECT place to kill time before a long flight. There was an older section that was constructed in '94 and a newer section created for the littles. If you have children and need to find a safe space for them to be in the outdoors, this is the ticket! read more

This playground is great! My kids, 2.5 and 4 had a blast! There's the wooden structure (so fun but kind of hard to find your kids running around) and then an incredible inclusive play space right next to it! Love that children of all abilities can have fun together! read more

Beautiful structures, views, and location! My little one had a ball here! Highly recommend!

Came here for the first time with my kids. We were intending to swim at the Lydgate beach located across from this playground, but thanks to the flash flood warning weather, there was actually brown water advisory soooo no thanks. As we were driving outta there, I saw the largest playground that I've ever seen. It was practically larger than some of the homes in Hawaii. Luckily, my kids (11, 14) and I (34) were practically the only ones there other than 2 infant kids. It looks like a castle outta the Harry Potter movies. This playground is so huge, there's a YELP page for it lol. They have all sorts of slides, swings, an infant area, mini zipline-like area, cargo nets, rubber tires, caves, etc. The only issue that I have is it is a bit unsafe due to majority of the playground is wood which means the awful splinters and build up algae making it slippery also. The parking is huge as it's shared with the beach park. read more

Super cool playground, such a gift from the Kauai community to all the restless keiki! But a little skeezy - there was a person milling around that kept following the kids. S/he asked my son to lay down and pull up his shirt, then invited him to join them for roast beef and candy. I think the person was not alright in the head, but molestation is molestation regardless of the perp's mental conditions. Seemed to target kids that were running around on their own, and hassled more than just my kid. Please watch your keiki here, like a hawk! read more

We brought our 4 year old grandson here while the rest of the family went hiking & waterfall rappelling. What a great decision--he went nuts! He had such a blast exploring this huge playground. This is one of the nicest & largest we've ever seen! It brought so much joy to our hearts to see him so happy! We recommend bringing your keiki here for hours of limitless fun. read more

Soo cool!!! This place was soo rad, the playground was huge, there was so many ins and outs and slides and benches and donated walls that had tile and games and music and hallways and jungle gyms for bigger kids and smaller kids and a fenced area so they can't get out and run away. I mean it was soo neat, I have never seen a playground like this, so much originality, so much wood instead of plastic, next to the ocean and also resorts on the other side. I mean it was soo fun, we spent so much time here and the kids didn't get bored, which is an instant hit. Worth the visit, would come back for sure! read more

My 5 year old loved this old school wooden playground right across from Lydgate Beach Park (great spot for kids to swim). Fun bridges, staircases, lookouts and slides. There is also a newer, fenced tot lot adjacent. read more

Omg this is a dream play structure! Being from San Diego, we've seen a ton of cool playgrounds, but this takes the cake! It was built in 1994, conceived by children and made by the wonderful people of Kauai. Even my 11 year old didn't want to leave. Adults even played! There are multiple slides, places to climb and different monkey bars (one even looks like it should be part of Ninja Warrior). If you visit the island, visit this playground! read more

What a fun playground next to the beach! It's huge and there are so many things to do. There are also plenty of benches for parents to relax on. I sat down here for couple hours with my children, and we only left because it started raining hard. LOL. read more

Loved this playground! We came by after getting Malasadas at Passion Bakery and our toddler loved it! It's HUGE and has so many zones/areas to explore. Made of natural materials and has beautiful art and activities throughout. Great way to entertain kids while in vacation. read more

If the place had better signs or called attention to their onsite maps, I might have found the actual playground. All I saw was Bynum Bridge on the south end of the park which was very cool. That alone would be worth 5 stars if I was just a kid wanting to play. The "bridge" is actually a fortress for kids to run up and down ramps, step through short stairs and open air rooms, and then sliding through tubes to the ground to start again. There are reliefs of animals throughout the fortress, but they have faded since the installation of the bridge in 2001. The actual playground is on the north end of the park, somewhat hidden from view by trees (it took a long time afterwards to find it with Google maps because of the trees). I wasn't sure where to look since none of the other reviews mentioned its location, so I can't update anyone on whether the pieces that were in need of repair had been fixed. Anyway, I love the idea behind the playground (built 1994) and bridge and how they involved the community in the work and planning. Instead of simply throwing money at a lot of generic playground equipment, this place created something unique that lets kids use their own imagination and energy to enjoy it. Too bad the signage seemed a bit confusing. Review #2399 read more

Pure magic! Maybe it's just because I'm a tourist from Oahu, but this playground is absolute magic! My 4 yr old and 1 year old love it! I have not discovered the safety issues other people encountered, actually I keep thinking that for being 23 years old this park is amazing. It Reminds me of similar playgrounds we used to go to at Cheekwood botanical gardens in Nashville Tennessee, but they weren't even this good. Not Sure why yelpers aren't raving about this place, but I sure will. Also, this island has lots of magic for older kids, so it's nice to find someplace my young ones can feel like exciting participants in Kauai. It says this park was dreamed up by the children themselves and Jesus says listen to the little children so I'm Buying! read more

Coolest and most unique playground ever. Make the trip if you have kids. It's worth it

Wow!!! We've gotten to three playgrounds on this trip to Kaua'i and Kamalani was by far one of the best we've ever visited! It's a dark brown color, so it blends right into the surrounding trees. My daughter had a blast! read more

The kids really wanted to play here :( Super cool old wooden structure playground. Closed starting the end of August 2019 - January 2020 for safety upgrades. read more

Hands down the BEST playground for kids (under 10years) on the island. Believe me, we avidly looked for playgrounds. It's steps away from the beach where we went to cool off when the sun came out and got too hot. Plenty of space for picnics. Public bathrooms. Lots of wild chickens running about entertained my kids. Fight the urge to feed them, they are wild and kind of aggressive. Can't give it 5 stars because the play equipment needs some TLC, there were big holes in the wooden structure where little feet could fall through, get caught, spraign an ankle or worse. I realize the rain and wind take their toll, but the Parks and Recreation dept. should account for wear and tear...and SAFETY. We did enjoy our time here. Just be sure to supervise your kids on the play structure. read more

Large spacious play area with swings a playground and restrooms. Close to the beach. The playground itself is not well maintained though. This place is still a good outdoors area to relax, and has ample parking. read more
