Lili'uokalani Gardens in Hilo, on the Big Island, Hawaii.........Texture from darkwood67 on flickr........Photoshop CS6.......city-data.com says this about the park: Located on the bay of the Waiakea Peninsula, the Liliuokalani Gardens are just off of Banyan Drive in the town of Hilo. The park's name derives from the last of Hawaii's reigning monarchs, Queen Liliuokalani, who gave up her throne in 1898 when the islands were annexed by the United States. She donated the land upon which the gardens were created..........The primary feature of these 30 landscaped acres is an authentic Japanese garden, the largest true ornamental Japanese park outside of Japan. It was created in the early 1900s to memorialize Japanese immigrants who came to work on the local sugar plantations..........Among the many features of the Liliuokalani Gardens are oriental plantings, curving walkways, pagodas, ponds and bridges. There are sprawling manicured lawns where children can play, and the clear waters beside the sea wall along Hilo Bay are popular for fishing by both pole and net, a relaxing pastime enjoyed by young and old alike..........The park is an excellent venue for picnic lunches while relaxing beneath tropical trees. Many locals enjoy walking or jogging the trail that circles its perimeter, especially early in the day. Because the park faces east across Hilo Bay, it offers excellent views of the sun rising over the Pacific Ocean as well as the cooling breezes of the morning trade winds..........Read more: http://www.city-data.com/articles/Liliuokalani-Gardens-Hilo-Big-Island.html#ixzz3sLtZKuxf
