Maui has skateparks in Kihei, Lahaina, Paia, Wailuku/Kahului and Hana.
Kihei
One of the oldest public skateparks on Maui. This was started in approximately 1999 and as a member of the committee remember several of us wanted to add concrete bowls which didn't happen til later. The vert and mini ramps came first with addition of street course without the concrete obstacles/roundwall. The pool has various imperfections that make it more like riding a backyard pool with greater than normal tranny. The rest of the park will accommodate a variety of ability levels. The ocean is just beyond the vert ramp fence and is accessible from the parking lot, so parents can always catch a sunset or nice walk while you session.
It's located in Kalama park at 1900 S Kihei Rd Kihei, HI 96753. The park is open 7AM - 9:30PM. It has lights and is FREE.

Lahaina
One of the newest parks on the island located right off the highway by the aquatic center and built well too. Back in the 90's there was a mini ramp while many of us were advocating for more. It's great to see such a great park came out of everyone's effort. The entire park flows well and will accommodate many skill levels. It's FREE and has lights. The address is 245 Shaw St Lahaina, HI 96793

Paia
This was the first concrete park with a good amount of bowls. Stonewave skatepark located at the Paia Youth & Cultural Center. We we're excited to be involved in the committee for this since the plan was for some good bowls. Construction came later than hoped, but never the less was done through local efforts. The park also has a flow area. Color theme has changed over the years and it's currently green. The big bowl has some quirks that make it unique and a great training ground similar to the Upland Pipeline on a smaller scale. Helmets are required. The park is open Tues-Weds 3PM - Sunset, Thurs-Sat 3-9PM, closed Sun-Mon. Fees are $5 daily or $15 monthly or $150 yearly. Park is well lit. 28 Hana Hwy Paia, HI 96779. Phone 808-579-8354.

Wailuku/Kahului
This was the first concrete park built in 1998 to replace the old wooden park by the Kahului Harbor. It has a big flow course and also a big skatelite vert ramp (no photo as kids were playing on it). No lights, but it is FREE. &AM to Dusk. Keopuolani park. Located at 700 Halia Nakoa St Wailuku, HI 96793. Just off Kaahumanu Ave.
Hana
This park gets great remarks from everyone that rides it. Takes a long and scenic drive from the more populated parts of the island. Photos borrowed from the internet.
