Ala Moana Regional Park
1201 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, HI 96814, USA
Beachfront city park built on reclaimed reef, with a mile of sand, a banyan grove and a lagoon-fringed peninsula.
This guide to Ala Moana Regional Park follows industrialist Henry Kaiser, the developer behind Hawaii Kai and a geodesic-domed hotel theater, who in 1962 set out to dredge three new islands from the reef here to turn this free public park into a private resort. It traces the park's earlier life as a mosquito-ridden wetland reshaped into shaded lawns and a banyan grove during the Depression, and the outcry that met Kaiser's plan. Listen for the banyan grove and sports pavilion.
