  • The Paofai Gardens provide a 1 mile stretch of paths along the waterfront and marina, set in a park with a multiplicity of exotic (to us) trees and shrubs. Plenty of runners and walkers, and great...

  • Decent little park near the water. View out to shipping docks so not the most picturesque. All the playgrounds were closed. Not sure if they have limited opening hours or just because of the rain earlier. Some nice sculptures and workout equipment. Lots of joggers.
  • What a great little spot to Picnic... My sister & I stopped here on the way to the airport. We enjoyed a nice lunch by the water, a little exercise on the machines.... Kids were playing on the playground and it was delightful!
  • We truly enjoyed this place. Such a family oriented park. We walked a few miles. This is the view from the cruise ship we was on at night.
  • Just a lovely area to take a walk and get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown for a few minutes
  • Decks on the beach is fantastic!
