With more than 10 years of experience as a professional writer, Megan holds a degree in Mass Media from her home state of Minnesota. After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
With 4,000-odd square miles of landmass full of lush mountains, cascading waterfalls, pristine beaches, and more, the Hawaiian Islands could easily be considered America’s ultimate playground. But the Aloha State is also home to countless incredible man-made parks and playgrounds your kids are sure to fall in love with, and this playground, in particular, will make you feel like a kid again.
Nestled within Anaina Hou Community Park in Kilauea on the island of Kauai, this newly-renovated playground is full of whimsy and enchantment. Anaina Hou is far from your average, run-of-the-mill playground, and we can’t wait for you to see it.
The Anaina Hou Playground officially opened to the public in December 2018 after a multi-year community effort, and just one visit will make you feel like a kid again. With swings, slides, climbing walls, and more, kids of all ages will have a blast at this unique park. You will even find a separate area perfect for little ones to play.
Keiki can explore the story of Hawaii’s islands through a volcano climbing structure, a replica of a sailing canoe, a multi-level ahupua’a-themed play structure, and even a replica of a sugarcane train.
There are even benches and tables scattered across the park from which to enjoy a small snack or picnic lunch, and you could easily spend all day here without getting bored.
Whether you — or your child — prefers running around on a jungle gym, swinging for what feels like hours on end or embarking on a journey through a Kauai forest, the Anaina Hou Community Playground is truly the place to be.
The Anaina Hou Community Park is located at 5-2723 Kuhio Hwy., Kilauea, HI 96754, and is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit their website.
