Lili{{okina}}uokalani Park and Gardens is a {{convert|24.14|acre|m2|sing=on}} park with Japanese gardens, located on Banyan Drive in Hilo on the island of Hawai{{okina}}i.

The park's site was donated by Queen Lili{{okina}}uokalani, and lies southeast of downtown Hilo, on the Waiakea Peninsula in Hilo Bay. Much of the park now consists of Edo-style Japanese gardens, built 1917-1919, and said to be the largest such gardens outside Japan. The gardens contain Waihonu Pond as well as bridges, ponds, pagodas, statues, torii, and a Japanese teahouse.[1]

Included in the park is the small island called Moku ola, (also known as Coconut Island), connected to the park by a footbridge. It is a good place for a picnic, and some limited swimming. The name Moku ola literally means "island of life" in the Hawaiian language, since it was site of an ancient temple dedicated to healing.[2]

There is a stone tower on the east side of the island which is the remnant of the old footbridge which was destroyed by a tsunami.

From Coconut Island one has a great view of Hilo Bayfront, Downtown Hilo, and the rest of Hilo Bay. To the east, you can see the massive breakwater protecting Hilo Bay. It is located at coordinates {{coord |19|43|36|N|155|4|6|W |type:landmark_region:US-HI| display=inline,title }}.[3]

It is maintained by the County of Hawaii and non-profit Friends of Liliuokalani Gardens.[4]

The park is a popular location for public events, exercise, and dog-walking.
