June 11, 1877, Kapiolani Park was
dedicated as the first public park in Hawaii.
The park boasts of open green space,
ponds, the Honolulu Zoo, sports
facilities, and the Waikiki Shell.
Diamond Head presides
over the park.
The Hawaiians of old
named the crater:
"Leahi." LINK
Popular for sports, picnics,
and family events,
the park is also a
favorite place for photographs.
" We are here to
laugh at the odds,
and live our lives so well
that Death will
tremble to take us. "

in itself. "
