Patsy T Mink Central Oahu Regional Park

Big park/​field when I was walking around after my job orientation. I just walked around to kill time before my bus comes. Nice park I saw dogs running around and kids having fun. This is what parks are met to be used for. To have FUN

I’ve only scratched the surface with this park, but so far I love it.
They have many fields for sports, bathroom facilities and free parking. I usually use this park for walking with my baby in a stroller. I love all of the winding paved roads with mild inclines throughout.

Came to this park for soccer. Lots of shade and parking. Small playground to keep the kids busy.

I have been coming here early in the mornings as a part of boxing training. In the wee hours of the morning there are not many people around, and its very peaceful. Its cold right now, but we soon warm up. The trails are very easy to run. During the day there are too many people, for me, and so I like to come here first thing in the morning to get some work in without any gawking. Overall, a very serene place, and there are many activities available for everyone.

More than just a park!
Located in Waipio. Central Oahu Regional Park, or also known as CORPS, is a huge open area filled with baseball fields, open grass, a *Olympic Size pool, and tennis courts.
This park is a great place to have lunch, go for a stroll, take a breather from life, or practice driving for the newbies.
I usually come here to go for a walk or a run, or play tennis at the courts.
This park has a plethora of tennis courts, but usually they get filled fast in the evening, or during tennis season. There’s one huge center court and one show court, and the other are regular courts.
Come early mornings, noon, or around 4pm to find a spot. They hold classes here too, but never really took one with a coach.
Also located at CORPS is Taniokas express, so always a plus when you need energy after a great workout.

Largest park on the island. Lots of parking spaces for days to spend to play with my son or meet up with friends for picnics but when there’s many games going on at one time, of course there’s never enough parking anywhere. There are tennis courts, pool, baseball/​softball fields, large green grass fields for numerous sports, and 4 playgrounds that I’m aware of here. It’s more like 4.5 stars only because of the amount of red dirt here. I come once a week with my son here or at least try too and there’s so much red dirt its ridiculous. Especially on the playgrounds. Needs to be pressure washed or something but that’s my only complaint. Hawaii is known for its red dirt too in some places haha.

This park is the biggest park on the island and has everything you need:
Swimming area
Baseball area
Running trails
Hiking trails
Soccer area
3 playgrounds
This park is well maintained too. Very clean. The only thing is they need shade for the playgrounds. But on the plus side… it’s so close to home!

This park is huge has plenty baseball fields, open spaces, tennis courts, kid playgrounds. I love that there’s so many trees and such great views! There’s also a path around the park, just all around great.

THIS is the perfect park on Island. I just call it «Central Park». There are so many things to do here. A large pool, many restroom facilities all over the place. There are kid play areas, lots of shade provided by the trees, a few baseball fields, tennis courts, soccer fields, and a really nice trail to walk with your children in a baby cariage. You can picnic, and although there isn’t allowed alcohol, I’ve seen people with it, so it’s not so strictly enforced. Come here and it WILL become your favorite place to walk and soak up the Hawaiian Sun.

This park has it all. Swimming complex, tennis complex, archery range, softball fields, soccer fields and baseball fields.
It has great paved sidewalks for rollerblading or even just walking.
I take my dog walking on the outside perimeter of the park. It’s a nice walk that’s safe.
It is also perfect for picnics. There are a number of tables throughout the park. You could also opt to just bring a blanket and eat under one of the many trees.

I finally got a chance to check out this park’s aquatic park over the weekend.
The facility itself is pretty impressive — it has a meeting room, snack bar (it wasn’t open during my visit), large bathrooms, and a couple of nice pieces of artwork on the wall. They are currently running the short course for lap swim (no recreational swimming). During the summer they open the long course. Kick boards and pull buoys are available for use.
I must have looked like a fish out of water, walking on the deck with my boys in their double stroller, because one of the life guards actually walked up to me and started a conversation with me. She told me about the hours and programs that they have. I was very impressed with her friendliness and knowledge.
If you live on this side of the island, take advantage of this swimming facility. It’s free and a great way to get some exercise.

Beautiful park. i was surprised to see how big this place is. many baseball fields n soccer fields. lotsa games goin on. even a extreme bicycle race! My 1^st time here. here for the st jude childrens hospital give thanks charity walk. awesome day!

This park has so much room for activities. They have so much room for activities that their room for parking is a little lacking. I have played soccer at this park on Sundays and I get anxious about going every week because of the treacherous parking situation. The options are to search through a packed lot next to the field you are playing on or park a mile away in one of the distant lots. If you can get past the terrible parking situation, this park has a lot of amenities. Soccer, football, baseball, playgrounds, pools, running/​walking paths, you name it, this park probably has it. Whether you go for sports, recreation, or some family time, Central Oahu Park is an ideal place to enjoy the great outdoors.

Pretty cool place to disappear to when all your roomies get irritating would not study here though just too hot! But the location is convenient and they host all type of sports if thats your thing!

Love this huge and I mean HUGE park. I love coming here with my family. It has so many fields, softball, baseball, soccer, and tennis courts. The pool is open in the mornings for laps. You cannot just chill in the pool, learned the hard way. The playgrounds are all around the park for kids to enjoy. Parking is good, lots of spaces. Bathrooms are decent, but that’s what you get for coming to a park to go. Anyways its a great park and my family loves it.

Love love this park! Really love me a CLEAN park, and it’s huge too! It’s so spacious that it always seems that the park is never too busy. It has pretty much everything you want at a park.
There’s open fields plus trees that provide good amount of shade. There are tables and benches. There’s more than one bathroom. Two of the bathrooms are located right near two of the parking lots. There’s more than enough parking.
There’s at least three playgrounds, baseball fields, tennis courts, and a pool. There’s numerous paved pathways, which give you a variety of running routes. All there’s missing are basketball courts.
The location of the park is also right across of Waipio shopping center where there’s a bunch of fast food joints, restaurants, and Foodland. You can just grab food to go and enjoy it at the park. Have yourself a little picnic :) You also get a great view of the sunset from here.

One of the only things I miss about living on this side of the island is going to this park. Long gone are my tennis playing days because I haven’t found any other tennis courts that come as close to the ones at this park. Or is it long gone are my tennis playing days because I don’t make enough time and keep making excuses? Well whatever the case, the tennis courts here are the best on the island. They have 20 tennis courts, yes 20, and believe it or not, the courts get full so sometimes there’s a waiting list because a lot of leagues practice at these courts. You check in and sign up for a court near the entrance and they’re free of charge.
In addition to tennis courts, they have multiple fields and large open spaces perfect for picnics, walking and jogging. Many soccer games are played here. But wait, there’s more. They have 8 baseball diamonds (yes, 8: four youth and four regulation size), a swimming pool, 4 diamond softball complex, jungle gyms for the kids, and an archery range. What makes it even better is that there is ample parking at this huge facility. We all know that parking is a huge problem on our little island but they have multiple parking lots surrounding the park so you can always park near the area you’ll be at.
Not only do I like this park because of its size (yes, size does matter), but this park is pretty clean and well-​maintained compared to many other parks on the island. It’s beautiful and it’s a relatively safe place for the entire family; there are always people around and there are a lot of well-​lit places at night. I highly recommend going to this park for a nice picnic and/​or some good old exercise!
Fun Facts
Park’s Nickname: CORP (Central Oahu Regional Park)
Park Size: 269 acres

Space, space and more space! This park is massive to say the least. Even with football, soccer and baseball teams spread around various areas of the park there is still tons of space for people to do, well, whatever they want (including taking up the middles of entire lanes in parking lots for some sort of hula/​tahitian? dance practice…). There are a good amount of tennis courts (which are usually always taken), a pool (check the hours and days of operation before you decide to stop by), many, many baseball fields (use by permit only), numerous playgrounds and bathrooms (I also hear there’s an archery range, skate park and gym, but have yet to see those…).
The biggest perk is that this park is also dog friendly, which is a super thumbs up for me, and has become my go to park to walk/​run my pup! People are pretty good about picking up after their dogs (and there are trash cans EVERYWHERE), but beware the occasional land mine. My pup loves sniffing around, trying to make friends with the other dogs walking about, and is always excited when we turn into this park :)
There’s so much going on here but you never feel crowded, and even when it’s getting dark I have never felt unsafe. Whether you’re out for a sporting even, walking the trail, or just want a place to picnic, this is the place!

If you’re in the mood to get active, consider coming to the Patsy Mink Central Oahu Regional Park because you’ll find walking trails, swimming pools, tennis courts, baseball and soccer fields. The park is located on Kamehameha Highway in Waipio and has easy access to parking.
The tennis courts are quite impressive with six courts and one for competitive matches. You can see many families congregating for games and others exercising in this safe environment.
One tip, if you plan to come here, be sure to spray yourself with mosquito repellent because I got bites in the most awkward places!
Get up and get some fresh air here in Waipio!

Reasons I go to this park: 1) archery 2) swimming 3) run my dog 4) play on the playground with the 6-​year old.
Because of the great parking situation, I love going here for all of these reasons. As good as it gets, mostly because it is right across the street from my house.
