Mo'oheau Park — Attraction in Hawaii

Old Railroad station is the centerpiece of the park and it is the Hele-On bus terminal. This is the place where you can find tourist information and details about public transportation to all of the local attractions. You can catch a bus to Volcanos National Park which will take you from downtown Hilo to the park visitors center inside the park gates. There is a bandstand in the Mo'oheau Park that often has free music performances and community events. There are several beautiful banyon trees in the park and it is a great place to have a picnic or just sit in the shade and people watch. Nearby restaurants, museums, markets, shopping, parks and sight seeing. The Hilo Farmers market is directly across the street from the Mo'oheau bus station where you can find many delicious local fruits, pineapples coconuts, macadamia nuts, mangos, papaya, and many other locally produced items. The Hilo Bay beach is just steps away and outrigger rentals are available. You can see most of what Hilo has to offer in just this one place. If you only have a short time in town, a visit to Mo'oheau Park is the best way to get a taste of Hilo. It is also the best place to launch the rest of your visit to the Big Island of Hawai'i. Taxi Cabs, tour busses and other transportation options are available from here. Bus fare is $2.00 per person (regular) $1.00 (senior, child and disabled) most busses have wheelchair access, but remember that you are not in the big city so don't worry about getting to and from places "on time" because you are on Hawaiian time when you are in Hilo. Enjoy your time in Hilo and relax....

I I love Mo'oheau Park in beautiful downtown Hilo, running parallel to the bay always, but without question one of my favorite times to be there is for the Fourth of July fireworks 🎇 show with the band playing so well in sync with the fireworks 🎇 🎇 🎇 it's always a great time. There's always a cool 😎 classic car 🚙 show with hundreds of autos, and food trucks and fun for the keikis and so much more. It's a great place to gather every day, picnic in the shade of the gorgeous trees, watching and listening to the surf right in front of the park, and u can catch a bus at the bus station there, or utilize one of several parking lots to conveniently park there while u enjoy the park and the surrounding Hilo area. There are a number of really lovely restaurants and shops across the street from, and even a nice open air market, boasting yummy locally grown produce, tempting taste treats, baked goods, local artists'wares, clothes, flowers, jewelry, so many gift items and the pleasure of getting to chat with and experience the real aloha of beautiful down to earth local...

Even though this place is in the heart of downtown with the heaviest concentration of tourists and homeless people- or those who are "Home free", Mo'Oheau Park is an oasis for tired travelers.

The service by both Hele-on bus (Public Transportation) and the security guard is appreciated. They have a tough job.

This is also a hub for paradise destinations in every direction! North to the Hamakua Coast and Honokaa Town, Waimea and Hawi. South to Puna, and the Lava flow.

West goes up to Rainbow Falls and Saddle Road, Mauna Kea and Kailua Kona.

East goes all along Hilo's world-famous lagoons and vistas to several Beach Parks.

Be EXTRA mindful in all directions of local Hawaiians who do not all enjoy heavy traffic and too many tourists.

We all have the responsibility to be sensitive, respectful and helpful to local and especially indigenous people.
