This lovely 13.4-acre park is situated in South Kona on the flank of Leeward Mauna Loa. It features an arboretum and a variety of habitats including mesic montane kipuka forests, lowland mesic forests, wet montane forests, and subalpine shrublands and forests. Relatively recent multiple lava flows have created some unsurveyed and uncharacterized lava tubes. These lava tubes make the hiking here even more interesting. Restrooms are available.
