My little fam and I did a day trip to Maui and as we were driving down from Upcountry Maui (after picking up our yummy yet quick dinner from Pukalani Superette), we stumbled upon a gift of a HUGE park with the most amazing playground. The playground was a dream: tons of activities to choose from and only 1-2 other families.
My review is mainly about the playground but the park was gorgeous, tons of space to run and play, covered picnic areas, and tons of parking. (There is a porta potty which was really the only dim spot for me.)

Hardly any grafitti, only one tiny area is broken (but it's taped off), and it's very safe - as the entire ground is covered in cut up pieces of tires. There are swing sets on both sides of the playground - and safe toddler swing sets, too.

Read moreTruly outstanding playground. My kids are between 7 and 12 and they all keep begging to go back.

Around the park there is a nice open field and a baseball field, as well as several covered picnic tables and charcoal grills.
