So yeah, I'm doing the whole Honeymoon in Hawaii thing. Oahu for 5 nights and Kauai for another 5. I'm just trying to figure out if I should bring my skate or not. I saw a skatepark (in Oahu) online that's on some military base and was wondering if any of you guys knew anything about it. My wife-to-be's father was a colonel in the Army reserves if that helps at all But yeah, any info on skateparks would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

i only know of one skate park on a military base (Kaneohe Bay MCBH) and its small. i hope its not this one you saw.

 

there are a few city skate parks. most of them being really packed with kids in the afternoon and weekends. but they aren't big time skate parks...

 

here is a like with the makiki and hickam skate parks.. has a short description.

skate park linky

there are other parks too.

 

The one I'm talking about is the Hickam Hangar one. I found it here:

Hickam Hangar

That bowl alone seems reason enough to bring my skate. I'm just wondering how hard it is to get on the base and actually skate. Has anyone actually skated there?

there are currently 9 skate parks in honolulu..

as for getting on base if you aren't military or have official business you can't get on.

 

i used to skate way back when and we got into the hickam park from the bus..... ......make that the city bus for 50 cents

 

u mean skateboard right? theres makiki, aala, hickam, kaneohe, kailua, hawaii kai...then u can jus skate ala moana beach park or kakaako. schools are awesome to skate as u prob already know. are you good? i suck :-P maybe ill come skate with you lol

ps. no really i do suck...i cant kickflip well or anything tho i been skating for a couple years

they also got a new 6ft kidney bowl at hickam

 

Thanks for all the info guys. I'm an alright skater. I mostly ride skateparks/bowls/pools which is why I want to get into the Hickam park. I already made contact with a guy who's going to get me in. He was super cool about it and got back to me the same day via email. I really appreciate all the help. Also curious how hard it'll be to hook the kind when I get there . I'm not sure I want to travel with any, and I figure there's going to be plenty of local stuff anyways.
