Waikiki - Kapiolani Park

|
This 28-hectare park, which King Kalakaua gave to the city and which now bears the name of his wife, divides Waikiki from the small residential area on the south-west side of Diamond Head.
Kapiolani Park is Honolulu's oldest public park and also the best loved. It contains a series of attractions - Waikiki Zoo; Waikiki Aquarium; and the Kodak Hula Show in the Waikiki Shell Amphitheater, in which summer concerts also take place, given by the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra.

All in all Kapiolani Park is a pleasant recreational area with a large selection of leisure activities. Even tennis courts and picnic areas are available.
Jogging is certainly one of the favorite activities that take place in Kapiolani Park. At all times of the day, in all corners of the park, visitors will encounter panting and sweating runners. Every year in December this passion for running is stirred up again when native and international runners arrive at Kapiolani Bandstand, the finishing point of the 26 miles/42.2km-long Honolulu Marathon.
