If you plan on taking pictures make sure you have a macro lens to capture the majestic beauty formed by the volcanic eruption that literally obliterated everything in its path. Your pics may come out like a Ansel Adams portrait because there is nothing but black and black from the cooled lava. It's a spectacular sight and a great place to enjoy the big island's beauty.

There were lots of lanes open and the center was well-staffed with lifeguards. The women's locker room had plenty of lockers (bring your own lock) and they have showers, as well. Just check their hours before you go because they do close at lunchtime and may also have other seasonal hours.

We came before sunset and walked the trail. As the sun was setting we crossed over to the beach side. It was beautiful. The coolest part were some friendly locals were playing their ukulele and singing. It felt magical honestly. There is so much parking and space. I always come to this park at least once on my visits. Highly recommended

As a lover of travel, this was great to visit although we didn't have time to stop at the beach or…read moreanything. The landing strip was remade to a regular road along the pretty long drive (felt maybe a mile?) out and back. There was plenty of parking and even a walking path if I recall. I don't know what it was used for other than the obvious, planes, but maybe the walking path had some history noted.

I don't know if the Gilbert Kahele Recreation Center is considered a "half-way point" when driving from Hilo to Kona, but what I can assure you of, is a fairly clean public restroom when ya need it! Lol! Looking around at this facility, it appears that you can actually camp out here, as I see some structures that appears to be cabins, and there is also a playground for the kids. The Gilbert Kahele Recreational Center is just off of the Daniel Inouye Highway and is quite east to find, as the Pohakuloa Training Center is nearby. I've been up here many times during the winter, as well as during the hot summers. Be aware that coming up here in the winter can get pretty cold due to the elevation. Aside from the pit-stop restroom, there's not too much up here to do, but if you have a chance to camp up here, I can imagine this place to be pretty peaceful.

Just past Keaukaha Elementary and next to Ke Ana La'ahana Charter School. The gym has a nice big parking lot in front of it and is pretty hard to miss, considering pretty much everything around it besides the schools is residential. The gym itself is very nice. A nice wood court, up-to-date rims and backboards, good bleachers, well-lit, and a decent airflow. It's basically all you could hope for when you're looking for a gym around here to hoop in! I realize that that isn't necessarily saying a ton with a lot of the other gyms around here, but still. This place is really nice. I'd definitely recommend trying to ball up here if you get a chance.
