Kapiolani Park at a Glance
Kapiolani Park on the island of Oahu was given to the people
of Hawaii from King Kalakaua in 1887. He named the 130 acres
of land after his beloved wife, Queen Kapiolani. Today,
local families and visitors alike enjoy the park for many
reasons.
There are picnic sites, open grassy areas perfect for
game playing, 100-year-old trees, tennis courts, soccer
fields and a 3-mile jogger's course with aerobic exercise
stations.
The park is also the site of historic
Diamond Head, the Sunday Art Shows and the Waikiki Shell,
home to many outdoor concerts and shows, from traditional
Hawaiian songs to rock and pop. In the summer, the Royal
Hawaiian Band offers free concerts every Sunday afternoon
in the Kapiolani Bandstand, just as they did during Kalakaua's
reign.
Kapiolani Park is located at the east end of Waikiki bordered
by Monsarrat, Kalakaua and Paki Avenue.
