Walk & Talk at Kapi’olani Park & Garden

Come and join us for a walk & talk in the park! Let's pick up those steps and hopefully meet some new faces!

Meet:

• At the Queen Kapiolani Botanical Garden entrance, located at the Corners of Monsarrat Ave & Paki Ave.
• If you are late and we have left the area, feel free to catch up. If I know you're coming, I will update the group discussion on our current location.

The Plan:

• We will have a quick introduction and discussion at the Garden.
• We will then explore this small gem before crossing the road and walking to the Park.
• We will then pick up the Kapiolani Park Loop, walking along Paki Ave to Kalakaua Ave, to the Queens Beach area, then back along Monsarrat Ave, ending at the same corner we started.
• There are a few spots along the path where we can stop for a quick bite or a drink, if anyone is interested; otherwise, we will keep walking.
• I am flexible, but I will stick with the majority; I just need to be back at my car around 2:30.

Parking:

• There is a free parking lot right at the corner of Monsarrat & Paki, or plenty of free parking along the park.
• Take your valuables with you!

Restrooms are along this route.
Distance: In total, this walk appears to be about 2.5 miles.
Pace:

• I am not looking to run a race; however, I will keep a steady pace until we stop.
• We should try to stay together as a group.

Time:

• If we walk at a moderate pace without stopping, All Trails estimates it will take about 1 hour.
• However, there will be statues and viewpoints we may pause at, or if we decide to stop for a bite, etc., that will prolong it.
• If you can't or do not want to do the whole loop, feel free to cut out and across the park at anytime.
