Review from Christine R.
Kula, HI
This is definitely an awesome park, if perhaps slightly underfunded and a little dilapidated.
Obviously, it's supposed to be dilapidated to some extent, but despite a few polite signs it seems like the structures still see some abuse that they shouldn't. -
Review from Jen S.
Located off Hwy. 270 along the Kohala Coast, my brother took me to this 265-acre park which is the site of an ancient Hawaiian settlement. It's a pretty easy walk with paved trails. It was founded back in the 1300s and amazingly, the village was well-preserved. The land was very fertile but it was also rocky and windy. If you have time, this is a great place to learn about some of the first settlements on the Big Island.
