Family vacation planning in Hawaii is easy. Sometimes families with younger kids just want to get outside, run around and play. Check here for a number of parks around the Big Island that are great for this kind of family fun.
They offer picnic tables, grass, restrooms, and room to blow off steam and enjoy the day. Some have basketball hoops, softball fields or tennis courts, and one (Cooper Center) has a skatepark.
