Positioned along Lanikuhana Avenue opposite Hokuala Street, this facility offers direct, ground-level access to the popular concrete skate bowl, street courses, and surrounding recreational fields.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Parking demand peaks in the late afternoons when schools dismiss and during weekend mornings when neighborhood youth sports leagues and skate meets take place. During peak hours, spaces can fill quickly, so arriving early is advisable. Park hours are strictly enforced by the City and County of Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation; overnight parking is prohibited, and gates or park facilities typically close by 10:00 PM. Always lock your vehicle, roll up windows, and stow personal belongings out of sight before heading out to enjoy the park.
