Hawaii is full of attractions，beach parks and gathering places.Looking for something new and lesserknown？Check out these public parks throughout the islands.
Kapiolani Park(Oahu)
Located in the shadow of Diamond Head close to Waikiki Beach，there's a lot to love about Kapiolani Park.It was the first public space in Hawaii，opened in 1877 by the last king of Hawaii，David Kalākaua，who named it after his wife，Queen Kapiolani.It's a nice place to get a glimpse of local life in Waikiki.
Opening time：Sunday to Saturday
Waihee Beach Park(Maui)
Off the main tourist trail，sitting on the lesservisited northeast coast of Maui，is Waihee Beach Park.The beach is small but scenic，with views of the mountains and plenty of shade.Though narrow，the beach is long，making it perfect for a morning or evening walk.
Opening time：except Tuesday
Prince Kuhio Park(Kauai)
Prince Kuhio Park on Kauai is a monument to Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole.Close to Poipu Beach，the park has a nice view of the ocean.To the naked eye，that's about it.But this park serves as an opportunity to learn more about the lesserknown Kalanianaole，who is so respected in Hawaii that his birthday，March 26th，is a state holiday. Read up on his contributions to Hawaii and have a peaceful afternoon.
Opening time：weekends
Liliuokalani Park(Big Island)
Most visitors to Hilo are so focused on Hawaii Volcanoes National Park that they don't take time to experience the town itself.It is in and around the waterfront park，Liliuokalani Park，where you can get the best glimpse of local life.Hilo has a strong waterfront presence.Liliuokalani Park at sunset is especially nice，thanks to its ocean views.
