Liliuokalani Gardens, Hilo

Beautiful park especially on a nice day. Popular spot for locals on the weekend. The gardens have nice concrete walkways, benches, and lots of shade from large trees. There's also the ocean front areas too with plenty of areas to hang out at. Fishing, swimming, snorkeling, paddling, no waves so its usually very calm waters and clear too. This area is nice for walking and jogging as exercise too. Well maintained with bathrooms and showers. Since its a popular spot, parking can be tough, but enough people come and go for short visits that spots open up regularly.

If you visit Hilo, I highly recommend you go visit King Liliuokalani Garden. It is an ornamental Japanese garden with absolutely stunning views. It is very well maintained, and a great park to relax and enjoy the shore. There are 2 beautiful arching bridges over ponds, a little tea house, a few benches, sculptures, some incredible trees, many giant yellow bamboos periodically scattered around, wildlife, flowers, and picnic tables. It is a very good spot to enjoy some fresh air. A big plus is there is no entrance fee and there is plenty of parking spaces. This place was absolutely gorgeous, and definitely worth going to!!!
