Kaka`ako Waterfront Park

a 30-acre recreational park that is still Kaka‘ako’s hidden jewel. Located on the makai (ocean) end of Cooke or Coral Streets off of Ala Moana Boulevard, it is built on a former municipal landfill. This reclaimed space consists of contoured, rolling landscaped mounds and a breathtaking shoreline pedestrian promenade with comfort stations and picnic areas. The Park is home to numerous noted works of public art including the Ehime Maru Memorial, a tribute to the tragic accident that resulted in the sinking of a Japanese educational fishing vessel. It’s a terrific place to stroll, enjoy a picnic lunch and watch the sunset.
