Five stars.
A hugely immense park build primarily for soccer games for kids, up to adults. The soccer stadium is on these grounds and is built for the University of Hawai'i at Manoa men's and women's soccer teams or any semi-professional/professional leagues.
The weather here is sunny for most of the year; however, some rain showers, on occasion or the heavy ocean squalls. But, great soccer weather nonetheless.
The grass is always manicured well and green. The restrooms are mostly clean, but no doors to the toilet stalls (pro tip: use an opened umbrella facing forward for privacy).
As a park, not really much other activities are available to do other than soccer. Soccer fills most of the available areas for the entire weekend.
Anyway, if you ever feel like watching some awesome soccer, come to the Waipio Soccer Complex for it. Aloha!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 1 - Apr 8, 20244 check-ins
This soccer complex is HUGE. Don't mistake it for the Patsy Mink Park in Waipio by Outback Steak House.
This one you need to head to Waipahu and turn left by the school then keep going straight til your reach the fields.
There's quite a bit of parking stalls but just depends on how many games are going on at that area you're headed to.
Most of our games this time around are at 14 so just look for the signs.
Luckily the few times we've come we didn't need to use the restrooms or even know where they are.
Watch the weather. Might be a good idea to bring an umbrella to protect yourself from the harsh sun or intermittent drizzle. Feel for the kids who are playing in the rain like this past Saturday.
Thoughtful coaches put up a tent for their players comfort during pep talks or water breaks.
You might want to bring a collapsible chair if sitting on a goza(mat) or the ground is not for you. In that case you may need to invest in a rolling cart cuz you'll probably pack some bottled water and snacks too along with your chairs and umbrellas.
Good chance to soak in some natural vitamin D and watch or cheer for your favorite player or team.Helpful 8Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - Nov 24, 2022
I seem to spend many of my waking hour at this park. I am here either coaching soccer, refereeing, helping with tournaments, or cheering on my children's soccer teams. My Pearl City AYSO duties take me here almost every Saturday during the soccer season. On Saturday and Sundays, I watch my daughter and her club team challenge a bunch of talented opponents multiple times throughout the year. There are many good things about this park and many bad things. The fields are pretty pristine for playing soccer and lines are well made and the goals are very good. The bad things is there are fire ant nests throughout the fields, the bathrooms are similar the prison bathrooms (no modesty barriers between stainless steel urinals, no doors to stalls, and stainless steel toilets with no seat), the bathrooms are constantly broken, and the fields are HOT and very little shade around the fields. The other good thing is that there is enough space near the fields to have potlucks and rest areas during tournaments and the stadium is nice for college and other soccer events. Overall, I am happy that we have a soccer complex in Hawaii but I feel City and County of Honolulu could improve the park more as it is highly used for kids' soccer and it could add income for events that bring mainland guests to the fields if the facilities were improved.

It's a beautiful public park that is maintained, however, accessibility to public is limited.

The first time I drove here I was wondering if Google Maps was a little wonky...driving past a golf course and what looks like a boneyard of decommissioned ships and a gate that says "No Trespassing" had me feeling a little out of place.
Once I saw the sign at the entrance of the Soccer Peninsula I was put at ease. The long road with it's speed bumps makes you take your time and enjoy the openness of all the fields. There are well placed signs to show you where to turn for the field(s) you need to be at to cheer on your soccer player(s). Bring your chairs, water, sunscreen and hats!!! There is no shade if you are sitting along the sidelines.
There are a lot of parking stalls for each section of field. Even when there are weekend tournaments, there seems to have ample parking. The bathrooms for each set of field are well maintained and clean.
I really do like the layout of the fields. Any field can be used as one/two fields at a time. The younger children can play on two halves of a regular field at the same time. This helps with getting games going faster and the children out of the sun quicker. I have not had a chance to watch a game in the stadium there but I do hope to one day.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Feb 15, 2019
Over the past 10 years I've visited this park sporadically to watch my brothers play soccer games. My most recent visit was such a proud big sis moment as my youngest brother played in the OIA championship game for Kapolei! This stadium has a nice layout and is very well kept. All fields I've visited are maintained with excellence! We arrived early and were able to watch more than one game and we moved around a few times but was still able to see everyone on the field very clearly. Although the bathrooms were out of order due to a water main break, there were portable bathrooms available and about an hour after we arrived the staff fixed the problem right up! Great job to the staff for working through it! The blockades and signage made it easy for us to make our way from the parking lot to the ticket office with no confusion or problems. For this particular event adult tickets were $7 and children $5. The concession stand had hot dogs, saimin, burgers, nachos, candies, etc... available for sale along with drinks including hot cocoa which was nice for such a chilly night.
There's one thing I wish that could be changed but probably can't be helped... The one way in and one way out is a pain. Hundreds of cars exiting at the same time with only one lane available just means nothing but traffic. Then were all at the mercy of the traffic light at Kam Hwy by the high school. Slight inconvenience but it's what we do for the love of the games!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Janelle A.Pearl City, HI292165389Mar 17, 2019
This place is great to hold soccer games. The fields are normally kept nice and cropped.
We spend most of our days here since we have 2 boys playing soccer.
I just wish they would install doors in the bathroom so we could have some privacy while doing our business.
It's way too funny when people have to make noise to make other people be aware that they are using certain toilet stalls.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 2, 2017
Headed out to Waipio to watch our little cousins play soccer in the Rainbow tournament. It's been a while since I'd been out there and was pleasantly surprised to see the improvements.
My daughter played a lot of soccer since she was 8 all the way through high school so I spent a lot of time out there.
The fields are nicely marked and they now have bathrooms close to the individual playing fields. We used to have to pack the girls into the soccer van and drive to the soccer stadium.
Great job Waipio!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Sep 27, 2015
One of the nicest soccer complexes I've ever seen. Fields are well-kept and they have water fountains and bathrooms.
They should have stands installed though. This bring your own lawn chair is straight up Busch league.
My wife plays for a team here and she likes it a lot. I watch her games.
Pro Tip: You can't drink alcohol.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0
