Kauluwela Community Park

At this park, there’s a kids playground, basketball & volleyball courts, a baseball field section and a whole lot of green grassy field with little hills to run around on. It’s a nice park.
Also, when the season is alive, you can catch the youth football team practice here as well.

Kaulauwela Community Park is one of those community parks that is more of like an extension of the public school campus it is right next to. Something like Kaimuki Middle School where the Kilauea park complex is right next door to it in Kahala. With that said, Kaulauwela Elementary school is the public school that is that elementary school that this community park is named for. Not much to this park though. Just feels like an extended playground for the kids who go to school here and for the community to play and relax here too.
Located within the Kaulauwela Elementary School, this community park is centrally placed off of Liliha Street in the heart of Kalihi. With the Liliha Public library parked in front of Liliha Street and Liliha Square shopping center on the other side, the quiet street of Kaulauwela Place, right next to the public bus stop and right next to the H-​1 East freeway entrance on the right. I guess nobody really notices in the course of daily life, but if you are in need of a respite from all the hustle and bustle of city living, playing basketball may be the best fit for you here at this community park. Might not call this a community park though, since it does sit within elementary school property. Although I do see signage that tells me otherwise, I can’t be too sure nowadays.
This community park can be forgotten within the grand scheme of things, but the kids use this community resource as a means to enrich their lives by being socially and physically active. That’s what kids needs to do. Grow and be nurtured while learning the basics that will shape their lives in the future — which includes years of dreadful schooling. There are water fountains here as well as well maintained playground equipment here, so there is really no excuse to come and rekindle your inner child here once in a while. I remember swinging on a swing and it brought back vivid memories. It was great! Hoping to be back soon, but with the fast pace of life, I doubt it.
It can be problematic here at night, so best be careful. I haven’t been around at night, but be aware of your surroundings and you should be alright. I wouldn’t be caught dead in Kalihi or anywhere late at night, so there is probably a homeless problem there — along with some sort of drug thing too. Come enjoy during the day and its all good. Help rekindle the inner child that you may or may not have lost and you’ll find yourself in better happier days. Playing basketball helps too. This community park is adequately maintained, so there’s not much you can say about being dirty. It’s good.
