Beach park activities in paradise!
Aloha!

![IMG_5901 (1).JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdUSuRXK9NYQ7suAgmMVGDQ78bei9XftrCTRgjq9NPd8s/IMG_5901%20(1).JPG)

Today I'd like to take you on a quick tour of what people are doing at Ala Moana Beach Park; focusing on land activities, rather than water. I've been guilty of showing lots of beautiful photos of land and sea but not enough captions of people in their daily. In this post, lets' have a snap shot of many ways people are utilizing the park for their leisure pleasure.

In these eight photos; seven are taken of natural occurrences based on my observation, and an eight photo of me completely soliciting a happy family for a quick photo. Lets' start...

Naturally, parks have nice beautiful trees for shades and its' aesthetic quality. Here is a couple taking advantage of the shade for some reading. The soft grass is perfect for cool ground support while the tree is perfect for a nice shade from the suns' ray; even for a pigeon.

A beach park can not go a day without some fishing, right? Here, you can see a man single handed his hopeful big catch. Right behind him is a double up team of two to reel in the ginormous one. You must think I'm full of s**t right now, right?! Haven't you heard of the fisherman's story of his biggest catch before? I'm just supporting the story.
![park 2 fishing.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaQeWj1oEexpMBvtA48LcMmJBpAkWmZzcEbK6gQGKgGWR/park%202%20fishing.jpg) 


How perfect is a bench at the park for getting some reading done.  The good thing about reading at the beach is; whenever you need a break from reading, just look up, stare right into gorgeousness in front of you. Day dream a little until you're ready to continue the next paragraph.
![park 3 reading.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmY6ciKwAwLk4uZ7CsXcpDbF1KgqnixijjR3RPAqGSCgnn/park%203%20reading.jpg)


This is how it's done.  You and your lover.  You and your co-worker; potential office kitty-cat call.  Or just you and your baby's mamma trying to work out a custody deal.  Have it here under the shades.  You just never know what  good karma might come of it.  Calm down! I'm just pointing out imaginary scenarios.  Hehe.

I've been to this park early in the morning before and let me tell you something!  It's crowded here with many walkers and joggers alike taking advantage of the beach park gorgeous view as they move along on the pavement engulfed by the morning cool air, awaiting the magnificent sunrise.  Sorry, this photo was taken early afternoon.  Missed the sunrise but beautiful, nonetheless.
![park 5 exercise.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmV4iRDWHFjioGQ4dg55BDffa1MPYjLoX8ZuTN9UVvB4HH/park%205%20exercise.jpg)


Here is a family learning how to drive their solo transportation that is maneuvered by your body movement; segway. Naturally, the word segwit kept popping into my head.  You know, of the current Steemit and bitcoin hardforks dramas. Hehe! 

Anyways, people flew all the way to Hawaii just to learn how to ride one of these segways? I can't understand the logistic at this moment but here they are as a family. However, I can totally appreciate family bonding by doing things together. 
![park 6 segwit.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZLx6L8tHWDZrcGULaYfALyKrqJkB6DKdRp5ZoyitNyKJ/park%206%20segwit.jpg)

Here is a seventh photo.  I really like this photo because of the obvious.  Two friends are working their way at paintings of the beach and the infamous view of Diamond Head.  Little did they realized, they are the perfect painting trying to perfect painting of a beautiful historic landmark in Waikiki.  

Was that a riddle or something funny coming from me? Just ignore my nonsense. LOL. I'm gonna forgive my horrible sense of humor right now! Who's in?!
![painting.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmehcPvJsc1P5u9SAWmSuTSKhgzNSiDmBHzt7KvrfbzwW5/painting.jpg)

And last but not least is a photo of a happy family. No, that's not my family. Okay, I can explain.  As I was walking back to the parking lot, I spotted this happy family just standing there with leis on themselves as if anticipating someone or something. Being that I'm a sucker for wanting to snap captions of people in their happy state I asked if I could take a few photos of them. Yes, I asked for permission that I might possibly use their family photo for one of my steemit 
blog. They agreed and I took several photos and sent it to them. Here is one that I'd like to share with you. 

Basically, I just wanted to share how popular it is to see people coming to this park to take family and wedding photos.

And there you have it, friends! Ala Moana Beach Park is a great place for easy leisure's and relaxation from the warm sun.  I hope you've enjoyed my brief observation of what people are doing at the park and giggled some from my lame talk.  As always, until next time, have a wonderful day.

Much mahalo and Aloha!

Come live here. I'm here. I'll take you on some of the most gorgeous off the beaten path hiking trails...waterfalls to high summits way up in the sky where only the less than 1% dare to venture.  Or you can just go fishing. Hehe. Aloha!

The family photo that isn't your family at the end is priceless! Great post :)

Does the beach park have another name to it?

That place looks like a perfect place to go for a walk after a long day.  Lots of nature, and a beautiful day. It does not get much better than that. 

The family you took pictures off look like one big happy family, and it is so kind from to let you use the photos for Steemit. 

Great post. Thank you for sharing it with us. :)
