Playing field is a walk from the parking. View is gorgeous. Not sure where it is and thank goodness never needed to use the restroom there. Sloping so if you're hauling a wagon with your chairs and drinks look for the easiest slope to reach the field the game is at. read more

We really enjoy spending time at this park, especially in the evenings. My husband and I often grab smoothies and take a walk around the loop. The path is paved, wide, and stroller/ tricycle/ scooter-friendly, so it works well for both adults and kids. The whole place has a calm, welcoming vibe. There are enough people around that it doesn't feel empty, but never crowded. There are several playgrounds scattered along the loop, which makes them great "pit stops" if you're there with kids. The playgrounds aren't brand new, but they're in decent condition and set on rubber flooring. They're perfect for active toddlers and slightly older kids. Our two-year-old can enjoy the slides and smaller features without it feeling overwhelming or dangerous. The only thing I wish is that there were a few more benches near the playgrounds for parents to sit and relax. The park itself is beautiful, with lots of trees providing shade and greenery that stays fresh even in the hotter months. Lately, the flowering trees have been blooming with pinkish-yellow blossoms. There are also picnic tables and restrooms available (didn't check the restrooms personally, but they're there). read more

I was avoiding the marathon in Waikiki and came out this way to workout at the UFC gym. As usual, I like to take a long walk after my workout and searching for a park, Patsy came up. I didn't realize how big she is! LOL! It looks like a great park with facilities for all kinds of sport activities. What I really like is the walking pathways throughout the whole area, so I got a really good walk in. Some of the people were friendly, like the family with their golden lab who let me pet him. I'm so dog deprived when I come out here. Some of the people I walked by either said "good morning" or just ignored me, which is okay, but it was such a beautiful day why not say hello. I would definitely stop here if I was in the area. There are some picnic tables as well and it is very peaceful in certain areas. Mahalo Patsy! read more

There isn't a better way to celebrate Women's History Month following a YEE from Women-owned and operated Blondie's Vegan Kitchen Hawaii - Food Truck. Well this grand park which was renamed after our first Asian-American congresswoman Patsy Mink in 2007 and I can't think of any other park that would fit this incredible woman after enduring countless discrimination moved on to support Title IX, which was renamed the Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act after her passing. She fought for gender and racial equality, affordable childcare...amazing!! This massive park is a spectacular hidden sports complex, from the outside you'll never know what's here until you drive in for a closer look. Just look at the park layout picture because unless you've been here before you'll never know which direction to go lol! - 4 Baseball fields - 4 Softball fields - 4 Youth baseball fields - 5 Fields - 20 Tennis courts - Aquatics complex - 4 Playgrounds Not pictured are picnic tables that are randomly placed near the tennis courts area and what I think I saw from a distance is a containment to place your used charcoals, and I read that a dog park is the newest addition. This park you certainly can keep your six feet distance and be an introvert to escape adulting which is what exactly what I did. A public park that welcomes all to participate in every activity of your choice, yes Patsy T Mink Central Oahu Regional Park is one to be proud of! Thank you! read more

This is a nice dog park, it's one of the newer ones. It's large, the fields are filled with grass. It's gated with a security extra gate. They offer a water fountain, and doggy bags. It's separated from large to smaller dogs. And the people that go with her dogs are super friendly. We go to the smaller side, and those dogs seem to be all well behaved and it's a safe environment. I still would be cautious because dogs are dogs. I keep a good eye on my jax. And if there is a dog that's has a little attitude, aggressive nature we just leave. That's only happened once. My Jax's Vet is going to this park, the only thing that it doesn't have a shade. So on those hot days bring your umbrella and your chairs. read more

This happens to be one of our favorite parks on the island. Luckily for us, it's right down the street. The sheer size of this park is amazing. I believe it's almost 270 acres. The Central Oahu Regional Park complex currently includes a 20-court tennis center, which opened in 2003; the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center, four youth baseball diamonds, four regulation size baseball diamonds, a four diamond softball complex, as well as other multipurpose fields, and a 20-lane archery range. It's definitely a safe and diverse place to bring your family. Whether you're playing a dedicated sport or just want to stroll down the walk/bike paths, you can find satisfaction. There is plenty of parking and plenty of space. read more

Awesome park! Great to walk around or run in. So many areas for different sports. Plenty of parking

This park is HUGE! So much space to do a wide variety of things. From picnics, to play grounds, to open fields, and even BBQ spots. There is so much you can do here. The park has a lot of parking and there are multiple parts of the park. I usually come here to jog as there is a trail that goes around the entire park. I have ran here a  few times. It's a well maintained park, there are usually a lot of little leagues that practice and have their games here. There are a couple of playgrounds as well for the little ones to play on. Everyone is also friendly here, when walking past or jogging past others they usually smile or say hello. Its also a perfect place to have a sit down and take in nature. Endless of activities you could do at this park. They do have restrooms as well. There are some maintenance happening in some parts of the park but it does not interfere with the whole park. There is also a shopping center right across so you can gram some snacks and head down to the park. read more

The park is beautiful, since the park opened its new parking lot it's is more spacious now. The new parking lot not features inconsiderate parents that allow their children to play baseball and soccer in the new parking lot. My car was nearly hit with a rogue baseball. The park has massive selection of fields plenty to use for children to ply and practice, it is unfortunate that we have adults that teach their children to play in a place where others property can be damaged. read more

New dog park close to home! It just opened about two weeks ago, but it was actually pretty busy when I went around 12pm on a Friday. There's two fully fenced in areas-one for big dogs and one for small dogs. There's also a drinking fountain and small bench to sit. There's no trees or covering around though so it can get kind of hot. Good size for dogs to socialize, run, and play! I first heard of this dog park on the news back in December. I decided to walk around the main Patsy T. Mink Central Oahu Regional Park located on Kam Hwy, so thought I'd look for the dog park too. My dogs and I walked around the whole park looking for it, until I decided to google it. The park is actually located on the Makai end of CORP, but I had to get there through Waikele (I don't think you can get there from the main park). It's located on the Waikele end of Paiwa Street near Waikele Golf Course. There's a small parking area that is gated. Overall, it's a decent size dog park for my small dogs to run around. They met a lot of other nice dogs while I talked with a few of their owners. Everyone was nice and friendly! Will definitely be bringing them back here! read more

This park is HUGE! Many different areas for so many different sports, events or gatherings. I haven't seen it but I've heard there's an archery range around. There's the pool for laps. If I'm not mistaken there's also a Tanioka's snack shop near the pool and bathroom area. Large parking lots are spread throughout. Couple of different bathroom facilities too. The CORP consists of different fields where my kids have played on both soccer and flag football teams for practices and games too. Not only do we come for sports but we also love riding our bikes/scooters as a family around the path. It's safe for our kids. The path/walkway is wide enough to have lots of space to exercise and not feel cramped. On another note, it's a great place to play Pokemon Go! Many different gyms and stops and a couple of the gyms are EX raid gyms too! read more

This park is useful for people of all ages. Whether you want to teach your child how to ride a bike, attend softball or baseball games, exercise as an elderly, or play at the park, you can pretty much do spend your day outdoors at this park. I have taken my son to the playgrounds located all around the park many times and he always has a blast. Especially when meeting up with friends for a play date. There is this really long sidewalk path that I have taken him on in a stroller when he was younger and now have taught him how to ride his bike. There are a ton of parking lots. Although when there is a softball tournament, it can get really packed. This park has been here ever since I was in high school. Many memories were made here during all my softball tournaments and championships. Aside from the softball and baseball park there is a pool and tennis courts. I'm not sure if or how to reserve a court spot and how much it is to swim. read more

Such a great park. They have a trail you can walk or run. We frequent the tennis court. They have a bunch but they are sometimes used for league. You can also use the courts for the newly popular game or pickle ball. This is such a a nice park for kids and adults to enjoy to be outside close to the city. read more

They need to have pickleball courts .There are enough land there if they don't want to give up their tennis courts.

I come here to play mountain ball (slow pitch softball) with my shipyard coworkers. The grounds are well kept and the bathrooms are a cleaner version of a public restroom. We hangout after the games to bbq and there are nice guys that leave buckets to recycle the cans and bottles we drink. The park is pretty safe with lots of people exercising and playing various sports. That used to have a Taniokas to go but they closed so I'm not sure if there is any food place there anymore. Overall great park to play at. read more

Patsy T. Mink Central Oahu Regional Park - Swimming area - Parks Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

This is a great park that has tennis courts and a swimming pool as well as soccer and softball fields. The pool facility is open to the public and they also hold swim classes( free of charge) for adult/ teens who can already swim and want to refine their technique or learn to dive. The shallowest portion of the pool is 8ft so not recommended for younger swimmers or beginners as they will not be able to touch the bottom when they tire. Bathrooms are clean and it's a nice family park for the Waipio community. read more

This park has been open forever just down the road from where we live and today was the first time I actually walked the park. Overall, I'd say it's a decent park. On the positive side, it's HUGE and seems to be able to handle lots and lots of youth team sports. While we were there, there were literally dozens of baseball and soccer teams practicing/playing. There are a ton of tennis courts and most of them were being used. On the negative side, the landscaping and upkeep is significantly lacking. I get it, it's Hawaii, and it's hot. It would probably take a ridiculous amount of water to keep things green, But there were just too many dirt patches, more weeds than actually grass, and plenty of plumeria leaves on the ground by the tennis courts. read more

The pickle ball association had a tournament last week at CORP's tennis courts. In order to play pickle ball they placed yellow tape on 16 courts. The tape now can not be removed without damaging the tennis court surface. If the Honolulu City and County parks and rec approved this taping with this type of tape they need to fix it now at their expense. If the pickle ball association taped the courts without the City and County's permission they need to either immediately remedy / repair the courts or this needs to immediately go to the prosecutor's office for legal action. This will not be a cheap repair to get the courts back into original condition. This brings up another question.....? Why was the pickle ball tournament allowed to play on the tennis courts. They are not built for pickle ball any more than basketball courts or volley ball courts are built for pickle ball. I have no reports of basketball courts or volley ball courts being taped in a manner that their court lines are damaged. If there is a need for pickle ball courts build them but do not ruin tennis courts, basketball courts or volleyball courts to satisfy the desires of a few. Hello, don't make arbitrary decisions on your own weak merits to satisfy a new sport. Do not destroy existing facilities at the expense of tennis, volleyball, basketball and badminton players. It takes long enough for normal maintenance to be done without allowing for the destruction of existing facilities. I look forward to your town hall meeting. read more

Patsy T. Mink Central Oahu Regional Park - Yellow line placed for pickle ball tournament and damages done when tape was removed - Parks Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

This is one of the better baseball playing fields I've been to on Oahu. The facilities are neat and well-maintained. Parking is plentiful enough, there are enough rubbish and recycling bins placed all around. I was surprised by the women's bathroom -- there are working sinks and hand soap! The bleachers are sturdy and high enough. I wish there's a roof over the bleachers though! Otherwise we'd chill out under the trees that line the pathway and watch the games from a distance. read more

I finally got a chance to check out this park's aquatic park over the weekend. The facility itself is pretty impressive - it has a meeting room, snack bar (it wasn't open during my visit), large bathrooms, and a couple of nice pieces of artwork on the wall. They are currently running the short course for lap swim (no recreational swimming). During the summer they open the long course. Kick boards and pull buoys are available for use. I must have looked like a fish out of water, walking on the deck with my boys in their double stroller, because one of the life guards actually walked up to me and started a conversation with me. She told me about the hours and programs that they have. I was very impressed with her friendliness and knowledge. If you live on this side of the island, take advantage of this swimming facility. It's free and a great way to get some exercise. read more

More than just a park! Located in Waipio. Central Oahu Regional Park, or also known as CORPS, is a huge open area filled with baseball fields, open grass, a *Olympic Size pool, and tennis courts. This park is a great place to have lunch, go for a stroll, take a breather from life, or practice driving for the newbies. I usually come here to go for a walk or a run, or play tennis at the courts. This park has a plethora of tennis courts, but usually they get filled fast in the evening, or during tennis season. There's one huge center court and one show court, and the other are regular courts. Come early mornings, noon, or around 4pm to find a spot. They hold classes here too, but never really took one with a coach. Also located at CORPS is Taniokas express, so always a plus when you need energy after a great workout. read more

Baseball fields are pretty well kept. The playground area is decent. And there is usually ample parking for any event.

Nice big park for my kids to go bike riding. Lots of other things to do at this park. Has pools, tennis courts and walking paths.

This is my favorite park to hang out or exercise at. There is so many paths to walk or run on. You can even circle around the entire park. Be careful, there was a troupe of buzzing bees at the lower entrance of the park. Some of the walkways are uneven or have a hole in them. Watch where you going. The park has several tennis courts and a full size aquatic pool where swim races are held throughout the year. There are six or seven baseball fields with public stands. In addition, there are several fields for soccer tournaments or football for fun. So much parking throughout the park so you have plenty of options :) I wished the restrooms would be more cleaner and need renovation, but what can you expect when there are hundreds of public parks on Oahu that need fixing. There is never soap available to use. Probably because people steal or hog it, which is why they don't provide any soap in the restrooms. One of my things about the park is that they have Tanioka's near the aquatics center. The hours are from 10am to 1pm everyday. Check them out. You can get your favorites then going to the flagship store. read more

One of the only things I miss about living on this side of the island is going to this park. Long gone are my tennis playing days because I haven't found any other tennis courts that come as close to the ones at this park. Or is it long gone are my tennis playing days because I don't make enough time and keep making excuses? Well whatever the case, the tennis courts here are the best on the island. They have 20 tennis courts, yes 20, and believe it or not, the courts get full so sometimes there's a waiting list because a lot of leagues practice at these courts. You check in and sign up for a court near the entrance and they're free of charge. In addition to tennis courts, they have multiple fields and large open spaces perfect for picnics, walking and jogging. Many soccer games are played here. But wait, there's more. They have 8 baseball diamonds (yes, 8: four youth and four regulation size), a swimming pool, 4 diamond softball complex, jungle gyms for the kids, and an archery range. What makes it even better is that there is ample parking at this huge facility. We all know that parking is a huge problem on our little island but they have multiple parking lots surrounding the park so you can always park near the area you'll be at. Not only do I like this park because of its size (yes, size does matter), but this park is pretty clean and well-maintained compared to many other parks on the island. It's beautiful and it's a relatively safe place for the entire family; there are always people around and there are a lot of well-lit places at night. I highly recommend going to this park for a nice picnic and/or some good old exercise! Fun Facts Park's Nickname: CORP (Central Oahu Regional Park) Park Size: 269 acres read more

Not fully ready to give a bump in the number of stars, but I did just notice something special this weekend - they are removing the concrete 'picket' fencing around the park roadways, the same ones that the huge Fords and Toyotas keep crashing through to find illegal grass parking! They are replacing the fencing with the same telephone pole/concrete block fencing you see at the Waipio Soccer Complex - the kind you CANNOT CRASH THROUGH PEOPLE! It took a little longer than wanted, but someone finally made a SMART decision at City & County by making this investment. I predict this park is going to aesthetically improve 10-fold once the project is completed. Yay, we get a pretty park back from the bad, bad pick-up trucks and idiot illegal parkers!! read more

After experiencing various mainland city facilities, I realized how very fortunate we were to have a 21 COURT TENNIS FACILITY and SWIMMING FACILITY! Moreover, it is FREE to the PUBLIC!

This is a great park, very big and fairly new, so the facilities are still nice. I use the pool aka the Veterans' Memorial Aquatic Center the most. It's large and very nice!

Super Park! I love walking around this park in the late afternoon/ early evening when there's just enough light out to see. During baseball season, almost all the fields are rockin' with parents and chairs all over, some tailgating with adult games and various other stuff happening. Sometimes on the other fields are soccer games, frisbee, football...all just fun recreational stuff to see. Usually my stroll/ fast walk/everyonceinawhilerun is just from the upper to lower side of the park. I love seeing kids and adults running around outside and getting fresh air. My fat ass really needs to get into gear but it helps to see so many people outside! There's a whole bunch of tennis courts that my sister and her husband play on from time to time with lights so you can play late into the evening. I also learned there's a POOL! and let me tell you I used to swim like a mo-fo. Never fast but I loved the all round exercise. With a fabulous park and pool so close I'm sure I will get back into it very quick..it's just the motivation that seems to be lacking in my part. :) With that said, this park is amazing and a great place. I'm so glad that it was created! #Yelp 365 Challenge -139/365 I'm a little behind on my challenge.. :P read more

I've been meaning to come here to check this place out. Granted that it's a park doesn't make it less than entertaining. It's probably one of the largest public spaces / parks on Oahu and it's quite possibly larger than Kapiolani Park. I kid you not. Definitely not tiny. I ventured out here on a crisp July afternoon when I had really nothing better to do than to feed my appetite for the very popular Pokemon Go craze of 2016. I had heard previously that a certain Pokemon (aka Pikachu) regularly and routinely shows up in droves here at the Central Oahu Regional Park, but on that day in July, it wasn't the case and got a bunch of other Pokemon before calling it a day in Waipio. On the flip side, I got to check out the Central Oahu Regional Park and get to file this review on yelp for y'all to read and enjoy. That's probably a good thing. The park itself features a plethora of baseball fields and a few tennis courts for your enjoyment and active lifestyle. There's also a swimming pool. Not sure if it's public or not, but when I was there, a swim event was taking place. Not sure if it was a private thing or a OIA / ILH school event. The overall experience here at the Patsy T. Mink Central Regional park was very nice and satisfying. While being here on a Sunday afternoon was quiet and casual, I wished that I did have a car, since it was really humid and warm that day, walking around and trying to find Pikachu, but to no avail. Oh well. The Patsy T Mink Central Oahu regional park is centrally located in the residential subdivision of Waipio, nestled in between the communities of Waipahu, Pearl City, and Mililani. It's physical address is 94-801 Kamehameha Highway. It's sort of like a buffer section of central Oahu, with Waikele premium outlets down the road. The Gentry Waipio shopping center is directly across the street from the park, so you can get lunch or dinner after hanging out at the park on a random lazy weekend. There is plenty parking here, with majority of the parking situated in one primary location and other smaller spots elsewhere. If you are like me, TheBus route 62 takes you here to Waipio from downtown Honolulu and stops off at the Waipio shopping center across the way. Not sure if it cost money to use the facilities here, (I.e the tennis courts, the baseball fields, and the swimming pool near the entrance), but roaming the park itself and chasing imaginary Pokemon is evidently free. That's a good thing for many of us who love coming to community parks that's free from distractions and is a stress free environment. The green space is very much needed to the urban sprawl that we have in urban Honolulu these years. While I have not seen homelessness creep into the central Oahu regional park when I was there, it still presents an ever present concern among the residents and people who are in the community. What i do love about the park is that you can do whatever you want, legally, and it's great. The fresh air and wide open spaces helps reconnect you to the earth and helps your mind free up what you have going on at work. While that carefree feeling is only temporary, it's quite imperative that having these green spaces help communities thrive. Waipio is no different. The park itself is clean and well maintained. They have rest rooms available, next to the swimming pool. There's always something to do here, whether you are here with the kids or just by yourself enjoying the outside. Plenty of things to do for your active lifestyle from tennis, swimming, or walking and running around the park itself. Whatever you do, the Patsy T Mink Central Oahu regional park has everything for you to succeed! Definitely 5 stars for real. It's like Walmart but for public parks. It has everything! Support local!
