Nuʻuanu Valley Park

Nice and quiet place. Limited parking. Restroom is dark and creepy though. The urinal for men is broken and floor is wet of water or urine (you choose).

The air up here feels cleaner, cooler, and is much windier than down closer to town. This park is usually busy after school and on the weekends, with large family picnics (complete with bouncehouses and screens for outdoor movie viewing), group sports, tai chi and karate groups, and LARPers, among others. During school hours, it's nice and quiet. There are large grassy areas, and gorgeous old trees, a cool play structure (see separate section foe that review), undamaged tennis and basketball courts, and bathrooms that are clean and well-stocked (also reviewed in its own section). Note: there are several little packs of friendly chickens around. They stay mostly up by the parking area. They will approach if you throw breadcrumbs, or if you happen to have a vehicle that resembles one like one of their feeders. They are not aggressive, but WILL approach- sometimes en masse. However, they are easily shooed if you don't want them around. There is a gorgeous wooded area just behind the basketball courts and bathrooms. It's shady and damp, with a stream running through it. Use caution while walking, especially around dusk, as there are many little frogs toads hopping around.

Nice little park with huge trees and lots of greenery! Watch out for falling fruit from above. Bring mosquito repellent if you don't like being bit by mosquitoes.

Prettiest playground I've seen in my life. It's fenced, far from traffic, partial shade from epic tree.

Nice park with lots of beautiful trees and a climbing playground. Drinking faucet, bike rack, handicap ramp and restrooms close to the playground. Benches, tables and plenty of parking.
