Enough space for several teams to meet over snacks. Today was the last game of their first season as a new team. It started to pour as earlier the rainbow signaled. Luckily no other group decided to have their after game pizza party in the pavilion. Initially the boys ran directly to the play equipment after the game while it drizzled before coming in to grab their pizza, chips, cookies, water or juice etc. Great in town location. One tip to earn the last star: have a couple more trash cans or have one employee to oversee and remove overfilled ones during the weekends ie this weekend the team had Saturday and Sunday games. Every weekend I saw filled trash cans upon arrival.

We went to Booth District Park a few weeks ago. It was my first time going there that I remember…read more It's a pretty big park and they have parking spaces all around the park. We went there for the playground but there wasn't any spaces in front of the playground so we had to walk just a little to get there. It's a really nice park to go to if you're in the area. They have a nice field, playground, basketball courts, and pickle ball courts. The playground is a little different from others because it has a zip line for kids. You hang onto a handle and with enough momentum you can swing yourself to the other side. My daughter loved that when we went to a park in California and we just never saw one of those in Hawaii. But now we know... They do exist! The playground is also in the shade so you won't get fried when waiting for your kids to finish playing. And there is a bench to sit and rest while you wait. Great park, we hope to go back there soon.

This is a hidden gem in the heart of Pauoa…read more When I heard about the Yelp Earth Day Challenge, Booth Park immediately came to mind. My husband works for the DOE and wanted to "check out" this park last year. Although we live in Moiliili, the drive is quick since it's right off the freeway. So glad we did... It's now one of our top 3 parks to take the boys! The facilities are well maintained, shaded by the huge trees that offer parents and kids shelter from the midday sun. My oldest son (4.5yrs) loves the swings and riding his scooter around the basketball and tennis courts. My youngest (3rd) enjoys jumping off the concrete benches and mastering the playground (which is more elaborate than the usual city park playgrounds around town). There's spinning chairs, slides, a mini zip line, drums, and chimes that kids can make music with! So cool! Parking is fairly easy to find around the park perimeter. Area has been consistently safe when we take the kids (about once every couple of weeks). Great for all ages but adult supervision is still recommended esp for the littles.

"Petrie Park- an oasis in Kaimuki"…read more Great little community park next to Waialae elementary school. They have outdoor tennis, volleyball and basketball courts and a nice grassy field for little league baseball games and practices. Like all facilities while still under pandemic restrictions, be sure to follow the protocols in effect at the time of your visit. The views from the upper part of the park on 20th Ave. are quite nice, especially during sunrise. During normal in-school class days, most of the street between the school and the park is closed. On the mauka side there is access to a couple of parking stalls for your use when using the park. An interesting side note is that the park's rec. bldg. next to the children's playground equipment area used to be an open pavillion that was one of the coolest places to sit. The tradewinds would roll through with a sweet breeze as you sat and kicked back to daydream during the lazy days of summer.

Located in the Kaimuki neighborhood, just across the street from Waialae Elementary School is a…read morehidden treasure of a park! I will have to admit I have a soft spot for this park, as my friends & I use to hang out at this park during our Intermediate, errr............or should I say middle school dayz. I even played park league b-ball for Petrie park back in da dayz...........and if I can find da vintage pic, I'll post it for you folks, so you can get a good laugh! Buwahahahahaha! Petrie Community Park is not overly big, but it has a little of something for everyone (for all ages). Petrie park has several basketball courts, tennis courts, a volleyball court, a jungle gym for the kiddies, and a large field for kids to play soccer, baseball, as well as football. There are also several benches & picnic tables on the park premises, should you wanna eat there, or watch the kiddies. In my recent visits here, I could clearly see that the field could use some water, as the grass was pretty brown & dried up...........but of course summer is just around the corner, so I guess maybe the city is trying to save water? There is also a office pavilion, as well as a restroom at Petrie park, but be careful if you come here at night, as I saw some sketchy element hanging & loitering around the restroom area. There is no private parking lot for this park, but not to fret as there is a lot of street parking within the Kaimuki neighborhood. Through the years, not much has changed at this park since I used to hang here as a kid, but glad to see folks still bring kids here to enjoy this nice community park.

Becky, facilitator, very nice and friendly! Very nice square tables and chairs plus Mah Jong sets to play with (with or without numbers). Just wished this park would be renovated as bathrooms and rooms (floors) are very old and could become a hazard! Sooner than later as it is used by so many residents!

There are no pickle ball lines on the tennis courts. The tennis courts are decent but like all public courts on Oahu, there are cracks on the ground. The nets on the tennis courts are well maintained. There is ample parking on the street along Kilauea Ave and 22nd Ave with a short walk to the tennis courts.

There's a big baseball/softball field on the corner and the gym is located further up Lanakila Ave. They might have other activities in the area but I'm not too sure. They have a small parking lot located between the baseball field and the gym. Otherwise you can park on the street or across Lanakila Ave., there is a health center that you can park at on certain days that they're closed. I've been here a bunch of times either to play volleyball or basketball... mostly volleyball. I used to play in some tournaments on Sundays and weeknights over here and parking can get busy. Now I just go on Saturday afternoons to play in the open court with friends. It switches back and forth between here and Palolo Gym. PROS: Pros are that it's located in the middle between the eastside of the island and the westside. They also have padded flooring. The floor looks like wood but if you actually press down on the floor you can see that it gives in a little. They did this renovation a few years back. So if you fall down or go for a dive, hopefully your chances of getting back up in one piece is on the higher side. It's not super soft to the point where when you bounce a ball you can tell a difference. It's hardly noticeable. There's also quite a bit of parking. I've never had trouble with this even when it's super busy. CONS: This place can get really hot. I don't think it's well ventilated. It's also a small gym with one full court and two smaller courts running perpendicular across the full court and bleachers on one side of the gym. That's all the space you'll have. Maybe a few feet more on the perimeter. So it's a small gym which can make it stuffy and hot if they're a lot of people in there. Final Comments: This place is your typical district park gym but a bit on the smaller side. But the convenience of the location and the padded flooring is nothing to complain about. Bathrooms are okay. None the cleanest or the dirtiest. Overall Rating: "EXCELLENT" Great place with okay facilities. But still great nonetheless.

Something like Kaimuki Middle School where the Kilauea park complex is right next door to it in Kahala. With that said, Kaulauwela Elementary school is the public school that is that elementary school that this community park is named for. Not much to this park though. Just feels like an extended playground for the kids who go to school here and for the community to play and relax here too. Located within the Kaulauwela Elementary School, this community park is centrally placed off of Liliha Street in the heart of Kalihi. With the Liliha Public library parked in front of Liliha Street and Liliha Square shopping center on the other side, the quiet street of Kaulauwela Place, right next to the public bus stop and right next to the H-1 East freeway entrance on the right. I guess nobody really notices in the course of daily life, but if you are in need of a respite from all the hustle and bustle of city living, playing basketball may be the best fit for you here at this community park. Might not call this a community park though, since it does sit within elementary school property. Although I do see signage that tells me otherwise, I can't be too sure nowadays. This community park can be forgotten within the grand scheme of things, but the kids use this community resource as a means to enrich their lives by being socially and physically active. That's what kids needs to do. Grow and be nurtured while learning the basics that will shape their lives in the future - which includes years of dreadful schooling. There are water fountains here as well as well maintained playground equipment here, so there is really no excuse to come and rekindle your inner child here once in a while. I remember swinging on a swing and it brought back vivid memories. It was great! Hoping to be back soon, but with the fast pace of life, I doubt it. It can be problematic here at night, so best be careful. I haven't been around at night, but be aware of your surroundings and you should be alright. I wouldn't be caught dead in Kalihi or anywhere late at night, so there is probably a homeless problem there - along with some sort of drug thing too. Come enjoy during the day and its all good. Help rekindle the inner child that you may or may not have lost and you'll find yourself in better happier days. Playing basketball helps too. This community park is adequately maintained, so there's not much you can say about being dirty. It's good. Support local! B

Run down conditions, the homeless took over the restroom area and the up keeping for this particular area needs alot of work... ALOT! The playground is damaged. Haven't been maintained for what it looks to be quite sometime now. The baseball field and tennis courts are still in top shape. They hold league games and practices at night. They also hold a dog show/race here as well. I feel that this is the only area of the park that is up kept by the city. As for parking, the lot is located behind the YMCA building on Pali st. There's only a few amount of stalls here though. There is also street parking on Queen Emma st too.

There is a small waiting area for parents and the rest of the warehouse has Astro Turf and netting for practice. There's no check in desk, so you just come during your time and go see the coach. My son was having a bad day, so he missed the first 20 minutes of class. However, once he went and tried it, he ended up having a lot of fun.

Cause you'll be able to enjoy the show and SEE IT from the seats your in rather than watch los rod it ON A JUMBO SCREEN. Plus too, there are different choices of seating. Most people love the UPPER LEVELS. Yet, the stairs are a killer! AND... NO BARS so everything is balance and grace. But if your like me who USE TO LOVE IT, but don't anymore cause you worry your legs will give... well, there's the ground floor that has bleachers of seats. The seats are so much better NOW than they were before. So, highly recommend the ground floor for those who refuses to walk up stairs. Then there's the lodges. K those are GREAT, yet, my fear is falling OVER the ledge. And the stairs you MIST WALM UP to get there too! Lol! It's been a while since I've sat in this arena for anything. I think the last time was for a concert back in 2013! LADIES OF THE 80's with the hubby. Hehehe there were so much hubbies there that night. It was unbelievable! Anywho... great place to be at for events, concerts and whatnot. But terrible place to use heels and tight clothes (if you know what I mean) Oh! Prices varies with type of events and I truly honestly believe it's absolutely RIDICULOUS sometimes. However, I get it, bills must be paid and people must be bought to make the event go smoothly!
