About this Location

Facility Overview

The Public Parking Garage on Ena Road is strategically situated at the western gateway to Waikiki in Honolulu, Hawaii. Nestled just off Ala Moana Boulevard and Kalakaua Avenue, this multi-level covered parking structure serves as a dependable, centrally positioned parking hub for both neighborhood residents and visitors arriving in Oahu\'s premier resort district. The garage provides covered stalls that protect vehicles from tropical heat and island rain. The facility comfortably accommodates standard sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-size SUVs. Drivers operating full-size pickup trucks, oversized passenger vans, or vehicles outfitted with tall aftermarket surf racks or rooftop cargo carriers should exercise caution, observe posted height clearance signage at the entryway (typically 6 feet 4 inches to 6 feet 6 inches in Waikiki parking structures), and use designated lower-level or perimeter stalls where clearance permits.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned on Ena Road, this facility places motorists within easy walking distance of major Waikiki resorts, beaches, dining corridors, and event destinations:

Hilton Hawaiian Village & Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon: A scenic 5 to 7-minute stroll (0.3 miles) to Waikiki\'s western shoreline, catamaran sails, Friday night fireworks, and beachfront dining.
Hawaii Convention Center: Located approximately 8 to 10 minutes away on foot (0.5 miles) across the Ala Wai Canal, making this an ideal independent parking alternative for expo attendees, trade shows, and festival delegates avoiding expensive event venue lots.

Ala Moana Center: Hawaii’s premier open-air shopping mall and dining center is less than a 15-minute walk (0.7 miles) or a short two-minute hop on public transit.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward via Ena Road, which intersects both Ala Moana Boulevard and Kalakaua Avenue. This allows drivers arriving from Interstate H-1 via the Punahou or Piikoi exits to access parking quickly without navigating congested inner-Waikiki one-way corridors. Exiting westbound toward Downtown Honolulu, the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), or eastbound deeper into Waikiki is convenient. For multimodal travelers, frequent TheBus routes (such as Routes 8, 19, 20, 23, and 42) operate along Ala Moana Boulevard and Kalakaua Avenue within a block of the garage entrance, connecting easily to Downtown, Chinatown, the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and Pearl Harbor.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Traffic along Ala Moana Boulevard peaks during weekday afternoon commutes and on Friday evenings around sunset. Arrive early if visiting during major convention weekends or Friday night fireworks at the Hilton Hawaiian Village to secure lower-level spaces. Keep your parking ticket or digital validation secure, take note of your floor level and pillar letter prior to heading out, and always lock your vehicle while keeping personal belongings, shopping bags, and valuables out of plain view.
