Kapapapuhi Point Park — Attraction in Oʻahu

This is a beautiful, underappreciated part of the island. The park has one of the best views of West Loch, a massive brackish lagoon with calm water. All sorts of creatures call this place home, such as fish, crabs, sponges, and even seahorses (although they're hard to spot). This makes the park a popular fishing destination. Along the park's shores are old wooden docks for fishing and hanging out, although they're brittle and rotting away. There's also a trail that leads to a sanctuary for wetland birds.

The biggest issue with the park is that it's heavily polluted. The water in West Loch is contaminated and full of chemicals left over from when the area was used by the Navy, as well as from agricultural runoff. The water is a murky brown, especially after rainy days. Trash is also a common sight.

A few homeless/houseless people call some of the more secluded docks home, but they usually keep to themselves.

Despite the pollution and the rotting docks, I still love this park. The people who maintain the park care a whole lot about it and try their absolute best to keep it clean. Volunteers also help out from time to time.

The photos are from when I did volunteer work for the park in High School...

Visited this location during my week visiting Hawaii!

A treasure of a place with great folks working hard to keep this place clean and clear for the wildlife and sustaining ecosystem-

(Update 12/20/21) -platform overlooking bird sanctuary was torched. Unable to use.

Quiet park with parking and a restroom. Next to West Loch and breezy. Nice place to drop some crab nets or a line. Many Piers and ok but need better maintenance. Walking, jogging, or biking on trail good. Mangrove and weeds overgrown. South path (away from Waipahu) and 20 minute walk leads you to Pearl Harbor Bird Sanctuary with lookout. Overall Park need better maintenance but nice place to...
