It's a small, not as popular park next to the more popular Ala Moana Park. It's a man made park passing by several commercial boats for hire to the end where there is no beach but still awesome views pretty much all the time. It's non crowded all of the time so an easy walk and turn around would be about 15 min max without stopping.

I noticed a lot of people had the same idea walking through Fort Ruger to get to either Diamond Head hike or to Monsarrat.

Hidden in the shadows of Kalama Valley and the residential neighborhood surrounding this patch of…read moreland sits Kalama Valley neighborhood park. I've come to know about this place ever since I came to this side of Hawaii Kai just for fun. Community parks are the lifeblood of any residential neighborhood and apart in the greater community for anyone and everyone to enjoy the outside. It's a great place to socialize and meet up with friends and family. There is a restroom facility here, as well as an easy way in and out of the area via private car, Uber, and even public transportation! Yes, TheBus comes through the area and has a couple of stops near the park itself. For the most part though, my experience here at Kalama Valley was casual and brisk. I would stay here for maybe 3-4 hours at a time before heading back into town. Most times that I was here, it was sunny and there was virtually no rain at all. I do enjoy the quiet and casual nature of nature and neighborhood park, but it is nice to see people, families with kids, and passerby use the park when I was there on multiple occasions. Kalama Valley neighborhood park is maintained by the good folks at the City and County of Honolulu. The park has a couple of picnic benches to sit and have lunch - or just to hang out. There is also gym equipment for the kids and kids at heart to play with. The overall experience here at Kalama Valley neighborhood park was refreshing, awesome and therapeutic for the soul. The area is sort of far away from anywhere you could imagine, but it is a place where you can just be yourself and do whatever you want within reason. Nothing illegal here. For myself though, I ended up basically people watching, surf the web a little bit, and started a bunch of reviews on my Notes app on iOS. I tend to be one of those people who like to multitask while here at the park, so in the end I'd like to draft reviews before finishing them up at a later time before posting them on Yelp. Sometimes during my visit us here in Kalama Valley regional Park, it would rain but that did not bother me - most of the time though, It just was windy or hot and sunny. It is Hawaii though. It might be better to bring some sunscreen with you or put it on before you come here. It was nice actually to just be out here in the elements. Much like being at the beach but less crowded and without the ocean. I just like the quiet Piece that comes with the neighborhood park at off peak hours during the weekend. You might want to pack a lunch to bring or have eaten prior to coming here. The restrooms are somewhat adequate, but equally disgusting and definitely ideal. You would want to before you come here. Is not really satisfactory, in my mind but it is what it is. Kalama valley regional park is located in the quiet residential neighborhood of Hawaii Kai, tucked away in Kalama valley. It's zip code is 96825. Since it is a regional community park, there is no admission fee required for coming here and the parking is wherever you can find it. The park itself is somewhat large and can be considered to be someone's backyard, if you wanted it to be. I did enjoy myself here people watching while drafting reviews for yelp. It beats sitting at a public library, although the air conditioning there can be a hit or miss sometimes. For you people who are like me, public transportation is available to get to and from the park / area. Take route 23 from the bus stop opposite Kahala mall on Kīlauea Avenue. The ride takes about 20-30 minutes on the bus, but it can be a soothing one. Kalama valley regional park is one of those open spaces that you can just spend an entire day to enjoy life and the outdoors. While it isn't trails or hiking, it's a place to meet people and to enjoy life as it was meant to be. Come on over. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+

With just a few weeks to enjoy the tree a top the hill lit so beautifully and bright it's a place that I rarely get to enjoy and take in at my leisure since parking in the area is quite the real challenge. This year I did have some bucket list places that I really wanted to visit and why not start at a place that's been in my neighborhood since not knowing is quite shameful and decided Christmas Eve was the night that I needed to see it so I arrived early before the sunset and luckily did find parking right across the street and am happy to finally take it all in. It does sit right a top the fire station and there is a path that will take you straight up there which is all dirt so a rainy day will make climbing a challenge so it is something to keep in mind as there isn't any seating or covering as well but was surprised to find many to take the trip up to enjoy the sunset and tree along with the stunning view of Kaimuki and beyond. A free place to take it all in and enjoy and wished I did come up earlier to enjoy the sunset as this place is totally recommended and will be back. Thank you!

Maybe my OCD kicked in because it bothered me that this Park in Kaneohe didn't have any photos or…read morereviews for it... Let's take care of that now!!! First of all, I couldn't find the entrance to this Park. The directions on my GPS led me to a dead end street. I had to move the pin on the Yelp app to the place where Kapunahala District Park is located on the map. Editing has been submitted! There is a building with a sign that reads "Kapunahala Playground". Maybe this place was a "Playground" before it became a "Park". I'm not sure since Kaneohe is not my Hometown... I just live here... haha! I guess you would normally enter this Park either from the Kapunahala Elementary School side or the from the set of stairs that lead up to the playground from Anoi Road. It was empty except for a guy walking his dog at 7:30am on a Saturday. There were some feral chickens roaming around the large grassy area. The paved volleyball court is waiting for a net and the two paved basketball courts also look inviting. The only thing is that it's not covered, so when it rains - and it rains unexpectedly - it'll get messy... That's why the restroom is convenient - along with the water fountains. The baseball area has two dugouts and two sets of bleachers for the audiences. There's also a jungle gym for the younger children - it's nice and colorful with a padded ground! This park looks relatively safe and has many options for families with tables and benches for picnics. I'll check it out again some weekend when people are around and report back! TTFN!

I hope you can find a…read morehappy medium for everyone since it was promised that this was going to be a dog friendly development. its disheartening to see that they pay for security guards to actually shoo people with dogs off the grass when they could probably use this towards something more efficient or better around the actual shops or theft in the parking lots during holiday seasons. I've seen other pet friendly communities add pet waste stations and more trash bins which i think would really help keep the area clean. even small patches of grass would greatly improve the area too, because the lack of it shows and some areas are really dirtier than others because of it. They also tend to throw events but these particular parks no longer allow pets. I was able to carry simba in a bag which they didn't mind, but i don't think thats fair for people with larger dogs. I hope they can at least make a one time exception when they at least do something like this because a lady tied up her dog nearby in eyes distance just to stand in line for something. It's absolutely hot right now and overheating can happen along with them being stolen. it just takes a few minutes for it to happen. Please do better and find a happy medium for everyone.

Happy October, Happy Fall & YES- :) I made it to #1200 review and the question is why am I checking…read morein @ the Ala Wai Canal & why the Ala Wai Canal for my #1200 reviews, hehe. Lets just say Ala Wai Canal had helped me on my healthy journey 6 years ago and during Covid times, I decided to take that path, I walked along the Ala Wai from starting from McCully side- Kaimuki- Kapahulu then along the Ala Wai, been doing this for 6 years now and this was the best decision I've ever made and even lost the weight while putting in my daily steps, winning combo and enjoying the Ala Wai Canal path was nice! Ala Wai Canal is a 1.5 mile man-made waterway that forms the mauka border of Waikiki - runs from Kapahulu Ave, behind Convention Center to the Ala Wai boat Harbor. Although you don't want to go near anywhere near the water, for swimming/fishing - which I don't recommend because all that bacteria and you don't want to know what is in that canal but you will see canoe clubs paddling here every afternoon- evening, its a bonus to see the paddlers. Also great spot for jog, relax on the picnic bench, dog walking, enjoying a meal ( I seen this happen while on my walks, and overnight and weekend parking is possible along the canal ( read the signs for information). ** but of course along the Ala Wai you will see a lot of encampments, chronics, homeless ness, the mess, rubbish left behind -the not so great part of the Ala Wai Canal/promenade but don't let that bother you , they are part of this society too. Just bypass it and enjoy! My favorite path along the Ala Wai Canal is when I get to the plumeria trees , so many right now, an entire path, grove of plumeria, so beautiful to just walk through it. Happy trails, happy walking and talking my daily steps and jus walking Ala Wai side, making #1200 and 12,000 steps! Thank you Ala Wai Canal!
