~Salute to our Military~
God Bless Our Troops!
Pearl Harbor
1 Arizona Memorial Place
Honolulu, Hawaii 96818
Hawaii Week for the Animals is the perfect time to say thank you to U.S. Navy, Pearl Harbor and all the brave military men, women, K9's and their handlers. God Bless Our Troops. We love you and thank you for your service!
Honolulu is a large metropolitan area. Please plan for traffic. The USS Arizona Memorial is approximately a 45-minute drive from Waikiki. Take Ala Moana Blvd. / Nimitz Highway or (H-1) West to begin.
While on H-1; look for the USS Arizona/Stadium exit, #15A. Do not take the Pearl Harbor exit. This will take you to Naval Station Pearl Harbor not the USS Arizona Memorial. Continue on HI-99 (Kamehameha Highway) and turn left at the 4th traffic light onto Arizona Memorial Place. At the base of the hill turn right and the parking lot is on the left. An overflow parking lot is on the right for use later in the day. Please park before unloading. Pearl Harbor Day is December 7th.

Dogs are such an important part of many people's lives today. Being social creatures, dogs like to interact - both with the humans they live with and with other dogs. Open seven days a week.
Most places on Kauai prohibit you from letting your dog run loose without being leashed. The park is a safe and legal place to allow dogs off leash as long as they are supervised by their owner.
There are two separate areas, a larger area for the big dogs over 30 lbs. and smaller area for the little guys. Both have double gated entries to prevent escape.
