In 1907, Queen Liliuokalani, Hawaii’s last reigning monarch, donated five acres bordering Hilo Bay for a public park. A decade later, the territorial legislature’s Committee on Public Lands and Internal Improvements increased the designated land to 17 acres.
Ground was broken for Liliuokalani Gardens, named in honor of the Queen, in November 1917, the same month, sadly, that she died. It opened in 1919; the exact date is not known.
Today, Liliuokalani Gardens is a 24.5-acre oasis with gazebos, arched bridges, paths winding over tidepools and lava flows and spectacular views of Hilo Bay, historic downtown Hilo and Mokuola (“island of life”), an islet that in ancient times was the site of a temple dedicated to healing.
