This is my second time here, mostly coz the kid recently joined a basketball league and they play…read morehere on Saturdays. Parking is woefully limited. Earlier in the day it's not as bad, even with Zumba (8:00 on Saturdays). There's another small lot further down by the baseball fields. The indoor basketball court is in relatively decent shape. The bathrooms are "closed for renovations" but the ones in the multipurpose room (where Zumba is held) is open. It's strange coz you'd have to walk through the kitchen of sorts to get there. There are a few picnic tables outside the multipurpose rooms. There murals on the walls are faded but they must have been pretty cool in their day. Unfortunately there are leaks; must have rained overnight. The indoor basketball court is one of the better maintained areas in this park. 4 stars for indoor court, 3.5 stars overall from my couple of daytime visits and impression.

So, reason why I gave it a 3 is because 1) there isn't enough activities for the community to to…read moreopen the center all year round, 2) it's a bit smaller than most rec centers but it has a large baseball field, & 3) it's literally in the same grounds as the high school. If this was me back in the days... this would've been my GO TO area for a "break-time". Otherwise, I like how it's IS n the same grounds as the school because it makes it so much easier for parents with babies to entertain the little ones while waiting for their high schoolers to finish school or whatnot. Also, this place fills up super quickly when they DO have activities. And the activities ARE REALLY FUN TOO! We used to always sign up our children to participate in this community center & they always had a lot of fun. But since COVID, the state has limited center locations to hold most community activities, lessons & courses. So now, it's either at Halawa District Park or Salt Lake District.

Little known Hawaii State park a few minutes from Pearl Ridge. I think a lot of people don't know…read moreabout this park because they think it's part of the Navy housing nearby. Likes: 1. no crowds on the weekdays. 2. Cleaned daily. Bathroom and park benches. 3. The view of Pearl Harbor, Ford Island, Arizona Memorial and the Mighty Mo. 4. Nice and quiet place to enjoy a plate lunch. Lots of good eats. Forty Niner Restaurant is just a short walk away. 5. Ample parking. I don't face any issue parking here. Other: 1. Like many parks in Hawaii please watch out for theft. Lock your cars and make sure valuables aren't in sight. Signs are posted.

I was torn about writing this because do I share this spot or keep it to ourselves?…read more I have invited friends for picnics here because it is a great park to get quiet time, a sweeping view, and a good breeze. If climbing trees is your thing, then come. If you want to kick, throw balls around.. those options are there. Lay a mat under the trees while reading a good book or cloud watching... Kids want a playground? Yes.. something for all. Bring a grumpy friend up and push them down the slope.

This has literally been our home away from home lately. With soccer practices, soccer games, and a…read moreconvenient playground and restrooms here, we have been coming here roughly 3-4 days a week recently. I grew up in the area and never spent so much time here until now. It's a well taken care of and clean park. Lots and lots of parking stall, and lots of street parking as well. This park can get downright crazy on the weekends with all the clubs and sports that go on here. Two gripes though: 1. We recently notices that parts of the playground have been deteriorating and is in dire need of a fixing, before someone gets hurt. Always check out the playground before you let your kids play on it. 2. We truly wish there was a restroom at the upper part of the park too, besides the one in the rec center that they don't allow anyone to use. It's an absolute pain to be at the playground with the littles, and all of a sudden one needs the restroom and you either have to walk all the way down and back up, or drive... ugh... Otherwise, we love this park!

As we walked into the building, we were greeted by a sign saying "No Public Restrooms" I was a bit confused, cus I thought it was a public Building, Maybe I'm wrong.

I'm going to have to give 5 stars for the gym…read more Nice parking lot with plenty of parking. Lots of open gym time and free play gym time. CLEAN floors, nice basketball rims and full glass backboards, bleachers are pulled out to sit on and to put your stuff. I used to play here back in my late teens and early 20s when I used to visit and had a great time back then and am happy that things haven't changed much. There is a good group of dudes not in their 20s (thankfully) that play on a regular basis and who all seem to know each other. I've been three times in the last week and will continue to come here as much as I can for the rest of my time here. I'm thankful to have free gym access. They keep the air con on in the gym to cool it down a bit and there are also bathrooms and a water fountain with a bottle filling option. Mahalo to all who keep the gym in great shape!!

But, the end of the slide is quite a way off the ground so it was a little difficult for the 3.5 yr old to hop off of. We had to carry the 2 yr old off. There are prickly weeds that grow around the back and sides. Since it's a sand playground, you can't see the loose prickly pieces and both my daughter and I got poked. It did look like a lot of fun for the other older kids and we'll probably try when my kids are a bit older so hopefully they'll do some landscaping on the weeds by then. We also saw a few kids spitting water in the sand and making spit-water sand balls. Gross.

1-22-22 Game Info: Opening Day…read moreDriving Directions: Ala Pu'umalu Community Park Practice Area: NA This park is mega huge in 3 tiers with not much signage and it was our first time as spectators here. Nothing was set up and every one we asked didn't know where field 1 was. Many parents and even coaches were in limbo as where to park, unload and wait. The first game we came to watch was finally set up one minute before game time. The second game 2 hours later had a mixup on fields and no team to challenge. What a mess. The lowest field is actually where we were supposed to be although we checked the middle and highest tiers too. For little kiddies the restroom facilities is a long walk up to the second level. So very glad the rest of the games except one were back at our regular home park where all 3 fields are on the same level: ground. Might be a good place to jog or walk and not sure if dogs are allowed but could be a spacious area to play frisbee or teach your kiddo to throw a football or to practice driving.

Convenient for families there are three separate level fields. Great for practicing sports or just spending time flying kites or racing toy cars. They also offer Zumba classes on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Karate on Monday and Fridays too I believe. Ample parking along the side street on the way up and the bottom and top parking lots. They also just repainted the lines so it's easier to park. My kids all play soccer here on Saturdays and we come here to exercise or cardboard slide down the hills. Nice getaway in the heart of salt lake.

Also, there aren't a lot of strange people hanging around the park, like you get at most other parks.

Moanalua Gardens is a nicely maintained wide open park with many large "Hitachi" monkeypod trees…read morespread out. Definitely more so a park than a garden. Been wanting to visit here for years as the last time was probably in elementary school for a field trip, and I forgot what exactly was here. It was closed during and after covid for years, then reopened to private functions only, and had no idea when it was reopened to the public. $10 for adults ($4 for Kama'aina and military) 7 for ages 6-12, under 6 (and Kama'aina and military) is free. Moanalua Gardens is conveniently located right next to the H-1 freeway. Heading westbound direction is very easy. Note: the parking entrance is literally right before the off ramp. Look for the "Moanalua Gardens" signs. Take the Tripler exit. Look for the entrance on the right. If you're on the off-ramp, you passed it. But that's okay! You can make a right (H-1 eastbound, you'll make a left at the Triper off-ramp), then left on Mahiole St, and turn in the next driveway. You'll drive through the service entrance to the parking lot. Plenty of parking! Pay at the entrance kiosk where they also sell snacks and drinks. Once inside, there's a moss/algae and leaf filled pond. There's koi fish, but the water is dark and murky, you can barely see their bright colors. King Kamehameha V's cottage that looks like a like a usual house. A Chinese style structure that looks like it has seen better days. Both are not accessible. As for the rest, the "Hitachi" monkeypod trees are all well maintained. Even though, there's PLENTY of monkeypod trees around the island, there's not many that's grown in this wide, umbrella shaped figure with branches close to the ground. Overall, it's cool to see the umbrella shaped Hitachi trees in a wide open, park-like space, but the other areas are not very well-maintained. There's not much else to do with some places restricted making it difficult to appreciate the history and importance. Charging $10 regular entrance fee, even the $4 Kama'aina fee, isn't worth it to just go in a what is basically a park. Isn't Hitachi paying atleast $400,000 per year to use the image of the tree in their advertising?
