West Loch Community Shoreline Park

Yes there is some sketchy people here and looks homeless? But they didn’t bother us nor try to approach. They pretty much kept to one side of the park so just walk around them. Many small plank piers you can walk out to so go to an empty one and enjoy the view. Yes the water is dirty! No swimming, fishing, got it.
Some parts are kind of smelly but it didn’t really bother me since my allergies keep me pretty plugged up anyhow. Nice stroll, walk get your exercise then head home. I don’t recommend staying long.

Ahhh, what a nice and relaxing Sunday spent on a pier, watching the bf fish while I read from my Kindle.
West Loch Shoreline Park in Ewa Beach seems like a great park to have gatherings, go fishing or have a picnic. There’s an abundance of trash cans and several picnic tables around. The park is rather clean and spacious, in fact, when we came it was nearly empty aside from the people fishing off the pier. There’s several piers that you can fish off of and two gazebos.
There’s parking and a restroom at front. Be prepared for bugs of all sorts, which is expected at any park.
Why 3 stars? I wish the restrooms were a bit cleaner and more centralized in the park. Also, bugs can be horrible and damper your day.

Quiet Lovely park to walk or jog along the West Loch. Especially in the early mornings. It is kept up and clean. Nice place for the keiki’s to run & play. Rest rooms available. The signs say no fishing but folks still do. They fish & crab off of the four piers.
Great fun but I wouldn’t eat anything out of that water.
Enjoyable walks tho with sidewalks thru out.

You know the really cute photos people take on some docks in what looks like a lake in the middle of nowhere and probably doesn’t even look like it’s on Oahu, well that’s here. It’s located in West Loch of Ewa Beach first? second right that leads you a short pathway to a parking lot. Follow the walkway to the end and you’ll start to see entry ways to the various many dock people like to fish at or simply chill, as what I did. It’s a nice place for a picnic. That day was way too hot to even think about chilling under a tree. The walkways were long enough for someone to skate through, there was enough grass for people to lay comfortably and more than enough dirt that I’d like for someone on a mini quad to go through and create giant clouds of dirt. Only in Ewa? Sure. I feel this park used to be a lot more lively back in the day, now it’s hidden from everyone else but the locals in Ewa/​Waipahu.

Definitely a good place to walk and see the shoreline and water, though some portions and facilities are run down and in need of repair, such as the walkways leading out onto the water. Noticed quite a few people fishing at the time. It’s rather easy to get lost and not be able to find the entrance to the park at first, but it’s hidden in a small neighborhood on the Leeward Side, near the H1 and Farrington Highway.

This park is hidden in between the homes of west loch estates, but easy to find and lot of parking. There are public bathroom stalls, I’ve never been in them so not so sure how clean. Make sure to bring your bikes, skates. there are a lot of open paved paths to enjoy. Some grassy places to chill. It’s quite large and you can go to different areas, the Piers are fun to see if you can catch a fish or 2. If you continue on the bike path it can take you into ewa.

Sure it is an old park, built back when… well West Loch was built. I read reviews of this park and had to chime in. I come here just to change the exercise route scenery. Yes the paths are old and the grass has now become weeds. It is still a hidden gem of a park with a half mile loop and a 2 mile long circuit, longer if you head down across the few bridges toward West Loch Fairways. For a neighborhood park that is secluded and almost private… almost priceless! Ample parking, open space, the West Loch (the back of Pearl Harbor, with very little water movement, which is why the water looks putrid, but after rains, it turns that dirt brown.) and views north and east, paved pathways with ¼ mile markers, piers, and safe. I agree that there could be improvement with the path quality, but with the financial condition of our government… the rail is more important… so, this one gem will have to wait.

Took a stroll here since I love adventures but this was a fail. I know sometimes people give a place a one-​star review on purpose in order to deter people from going there but this one-​star review is well deserved. When they said no swimming, no fishing, no etc. due to contamination, they weren’t kidding. We went out on the pier and the water was so brown, it wasn’t a pleasant color at all. A bit confusing since other pictures (not just here on Unilocal but other social media websites as well) showed a less brown colored water but maybe I went on the wrong day? Certain parts of the paved walkways also had an unpleasant smell. I saw bits of bougainvilleas which I was excited about when I saw them from a distance but upon closer inspection, they weren’t maintained.
Overall, I wouldn’t want to go back (at least not right now). I’ll probably go back later in the year and maybe the water would be less brown and I’ll update my review then.

Surprised to go there for the first time. My friend got married at the gazebo. What a pretty backdrop of the pond 180° around! I didn’t get to check out the entire park but I want to come back! What a great place to go walking or biking on the many paths! I saw people fishing on the piers. Talk about a diamond in the rough!

This park is a pretty decent multi-​purpose spot, tucked in behind West Loch Estates. For those of you who have never been to West Loch Estates, don’t fret. These properties are on the older side and it looks like the ritz left this area some years ago.
The park seems well-​intended, but isn’t the most manicured walk you’ll find on the island. Many of the plants and flowers are neglected, and the park has seen its share of abuse. Even while I ran through there the other day, a few locals were banging the crap out of a tree for fun. Scenes like these are probably why no one has reviewed this park in all its years.
There’s also ample signage warning people about the contaminated water in the loch, and the signs also forbid fishing and all aquatic activity. Take a look out on a pier and you can see why. It’s not exactly a thriving ecosystem here.
Even with all the warnings, I saw at least a dozen Chinese fishing away from the piers. But this is a review about the park, not the lack of respect for the local ordinances. Even while they blatantly misuse the place, it’s refreshing to see a local Halau rehearsing near the pavilion. It appears some people can indeed have nice things.
