Several friends and I went to this park on the windward side of Oahu. A lot of hard and amazing work has been done clearing the land and planting it with native plants. The views across Kawainui Marsh were lovely.

Pohaku in the name of the park means 'stone' and the magnificent stones in the park live up to its name.
