    This is one of the clean parks in town with fun children playground equipment. People generally is gentle and sweet when bring child/children here. Lots of space to run. around, close to big shopping mall and parking is usually great. One down side, no where to hide if it rains, and if it's a windy day, its EXTRA windy here because of all the high rise buildings around the park.

    Cute little Park located right on Queen Street, across from the TJ Maxx side of Ward Centers. No bathroom facilities on site, but you can always walk across the street to the ward area. Clean, well used, well-loved park by the families in the area. You'll often find younger kids there and the parents typically are very conscientious about being with their kids and interacting. We love that. Great for interaction and playing with other children. You won't find a lot of rough housing or disrespect here, and we love that too. There is no fencing, and it is located on Queen Street, so be prepared to keep a close eye. However, there is a lot of green space surrounding the little play area, and benches, so there is tons of room. Well-behaved dogs on leashes are of course welcome. We have never seen anyone leave dog messes at this Park, which is wonderful. Park on-street, or there is the ward complex across the street to, if you're going to shop. You can always bring a picnic lunch, or grab something across the street at the Holo Holo Market. Reasonable prices, poke bowls from FoodLand made on site, and Musubi ready to go. There's even a refrigerated area for those of you who would like salads or sandwiches that require refrigeration. Drinks are a little more expensive, but reasonable for the area. After the playground, you can also visit the same area right across the street to visit the very clean restrooms and stop for ice cream at Lucy's lab. We often make a day of it. Once you're parked, hey, you're parked!

    Been coming here for years. Love the family atmosphere and the mix of jungle gym and large grassy area play spaces! Kids here tend to be very happy, playful and moderate in terms of roughness. They are also on the younger end of the age range - toddler to 8 years. There is a short walking path encircling the park that is perfect for bicycling or skating for the little ones. No restrooms though. There are the Ward shops close by for food, supplies, etc.

    This playground is garbage for somewhere that has so many multi-million dollar properties. City of Honolulu is not serving its constituents.

    Clean playground for small kids. Places to sit and play. Very public and near a busy road as well

  • 5/5 Rick S. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great little oasis in the heart of the city. This park gets a little busy, but it’s also great because your kids always have plenty of caring parents around should they take a spill or need something. Come to the park for a couple hours, and swing through Ala Moana before heading home to pick up a great lunch.

    Beautiful park. Nice open grassy field for kids to run and play with an adequate jungle gym.

    Crowded with many maskless parents intermingling with kids. Kids had fun, dad worried about covid.

  • 5/5 ShotgunTrader 4 years ago on Google
    The park is nice. There's a decent playground and there are enough benches surrounding the playground so you can easily watch the little ones. The park also has a large grass area to have a picnic or run and play. Not a hilly park which is great to run around. The only problem is that there are no restrooms here. When the kids start to play, 10 minutes later someone has to go to the restroom. Other then that, the area is nice with shopping nearby in case you get an itch in the wallet.

    Beautiful fun and clean place for kids you can park at TJ Max parking and walk there.

    Most relaxing and breezy park in the Ward Village area ever! Also really cool just to sit on the benches and watch the kids monkeying around on the jungle gym. Me included!
