Exploring Kapiolani Regional Park Events
In one sense, Queen Kapiolani Park is similar to any other park: it includes grass, trees, a playing field, tennis courts, and even a bandstand for special events. However, this park is unlike any other since it is located at the foot of Diamond Head, right across the street from Waikiki Beach, and is unlike any other in the world! So, if you're searching for a tranquil area to relax in the shade or to let the kids run about unsupervised for a bit, Kapiolani Park may be the ideal location for you…
