Saturday in the Park (Ala Moana Park II)

I introduced Ala Moana Park to you just after I arrived here as it is just across the street and the first Hawaiian beach I had seen. Since then I have explored the far reaches of the park and discovered just how popular it is with locals and tourists alike. Here are some snapshots taken with a digital camera on a recent Saturday afternoon to give you a better taste of what this park is all about.

The park is home to many card players; mostly women.

These kids are trying to learn how to ride a Wave Runner which is much like a skateboard but has two swivels that make it a little more difficult to master but much easier to generate speed on flat pavement.
