Honolulu city parks open fall class registration

Aug 20, 2026

Honolulu's city parks are rolling out over 1,000 fall classes, most of them free — good news for families looking for cheap activities in an expensive place to live.

  • Registration opens next week, one geographic district per day, Monday through Friday at 5 p.m.
  • Most classes cost nothing; the rest charge only for materials like art supplies.
  • Options run from pickleball and basketball to paddle boarding, arts and crafts, dance, and after-school study halls.
  • Sign-up is online through the parks website, with in-person options for people without home internet.
  • Cleanup from last weekend's storm is still going, with over 400 calls about downed trees and branches; crews are prioritizing trees hitting homes and roads over ones inside parks.

Outlook: Another storm is expected this weekend, so parks crews are racing to clear the worst damage while residents are urged to restock their storm kits.
