Across the street is Kapi'olani Park (1877), the largest and oldest public park in Oahu. With 300 acres of green lawn to play on, this is where Honolulu residents come for recreation. Created in 1876, with landscape planning by merchant Archibald Cleghorn (later to become Governor of Oahu), the beautiful park is named after Queen Kapiolani, the wife of King Kalakaua. |

It is to be noted that Archibald Cleghorn married Princess Miriam Kapili Likelike in 1870, and their daughter was the beautiful Princess Victoria Ka'iulani. The family's home in the heart of Waikiki was called 'Ainahau, and it was widely considered "the most beautiful estate in the Hawaiian Islands". |
