Kakaako Waterfront Park


Kakaʻako Waterfront Park, also known as "Point Panic Park", is a public park in Kakaʻako, south of downtown Honolulu, just off Ala Moana Boulevard at the end of Cooke Street. It was opened in November 1992 on the site of a former municipal landfill and consists of of grass-covered rolling hills adjacent to the ocean. There is no sandy beach at this location, and access to the ocean is by concrete stairs.

Management of Kakaʻako Waterfront Park has been transferred to the Hawaiʻi Community Development Corporation.
The John A. Burns School of Medicine, part of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, is located inland and adjacent to the waterfront park.
A Memorial to the Ehime Maru Incident victims is built at the Kakaako Waterfront Park.
