Waipuilani Park — Attraction in Hawaii

Big grassy park next to the beach. Seems the big draw are the 8 pickleball courts.

It was such a beautiful spot I could imagine it being a location for professional photography or film.

As sunset approached the beach began to fill up with people. There we were in our own natural semi-private cabana watching the tropical sunset. That will be a cherished memory for the...

Citizens in this district pay for pubic parks on property tax bills so, why do they have locks on the male and female restrooms forcing the public to use port a potties and giving use of the main restrooms to payors for special functions. If the City or County is passing the bill to Citizens in that district to pay taxes for this park, then, the citizens should be allowed access to the main restrooms, not only the...
