Makiki District Park

My granddaughter's swim class is there and we did not have to pay for it. Although it's for a few weeks, it keeps her positive, healthy, and more able to sleep better & early being able to wake up in a good frame of mind. Her teacher who goes by Mr. goes over the understanding of the rules and what He is bringing to the table with the compliment of why. I just call Him Ku`mu. Great neighborhood families of which have been living there for 80+ years. The park is clean, spacious, you can practice up on your golfing ect. What I like about it is that the TheBus line is right there! Yes there's a parking lot but for me #4 TheBus is cheaper. I took a lot of pictures but only 5 can be placed on maps. MUST! Shower Before swimming and NO Running, the restroom is large and I found it clean. So let's just keep it up also! Outside cubby holes? I personally don't worry about our things in it 🤷. My favorite of the day is those buildings that have to been there since the start and the trees 🤦wow. Before I left I did what I needed to do, just in case it's taken away? I hugged the building to keep it in my heart forever. The structure of the building will last, lets hope it does Not go away. Why replaced things that are Still in good use?

Nice park with plenty space. It has children playground, swimming pool, tennis court... I haven't had an issue yet. People walk their dogs too. However, a few times there's people smoking on the grass. They should be taken care of.

We've been here a couple of times due to our neighborhood playground being under construction. I really like that a community garden is a part of the park. I also appreciate that this park has a number of trees and palms right around the playground area providing shade for those sitting on the sides watching their children. I think this park could benefit from a shade over the playground as can be found at other parks. Yet, many others also dont have shade. The children seem to not have too much of a problem with it. There's a nice big pool here as well as a smaller one for keiki. I've only been there twice at the time of this review, but in my experience so far, it's a good place to take the little ones to play and engage with others.

My wife and I like to walk through the gardens here (been on the wait-list going on two years now) in the mornings or evenings when it's cool. The park is nice but could use a few more shade trees, lights, and a new jungle gym for the kids (pictured and why it's not 5/5 stars). For a park that serves such a big population, this jungle gym is too small and it's so dusty located next to the mulch pile. Other thing a park of this caliber ought to have are those body weight bars and machines many other parks (Ala Wai, Diamond Head, Kapiolani) have and that people of all ages like. Lots of potential to be a truly great park. The pool and courts are great, and though I don't use it, the skate park seems popular too.

Makiki District Park is a welcoming community space with sports facilities, a gym, and green areas. Ideal for families, workouts, and neighborhood gatherings.

Our go-to park 🙂 so fun and lots to do. Great for the kids to get out some energy and you to get out of the "city." Well kept and safe, the playground can get a bit crowded but there is much more for the kids to do like the tennis & basketball courts, skate park, large field, and pool (which is unfortunately opened under strict conditions due to COVID right now). Watch out for random homeless that will walk by, just make sure you are responsible at keeping an eye on your kids and belongings. Parking by the playground can be tough but there’s plenty of parking by the skate park off Keeaumoku.

Nice place to workout. Family oriented. Pet friendly too. No homeless to worry about.
