Kapolei is a planned community in Honolulu County, Hawaiʻi, United States, on the island of Oʻahu. It is colloquially known as the "second city" of Oʻahu, in relation to Honolulu. Officially, it is a census-designated place (CDP) within the consolidated city-county of Honolulu.

The community takes its name from a volcanic cone, Puʻu o Kapolei. In the Hawaiian language, puʻu means "hill" and Kapo lei means "beloved Kapo". According to legend, Kapo, Goddess of Fertility was sister to Pele, Goddess of Fire and Nāmaka, Goddess of the Sea.

Much of the land is part of the estate of industrialist James Campbell. Kapolei's major developer is Kapolei Property Development, a subsidiary of James Campbell Company. Kapolei sits primarily upon former sugarcane and pineapple fields.

Trick or Treat days/time?

I’m going to be visiting grandparents in Kapolei on Halloween this year with my 9 year-old. Do the kids trick or treat on Halloween, or does the city have a set day/time?

Moving to Kapolei with school aged children. Thoughts on public school system?

Those with kids in public school in Kapolei, what are your thoughts? 2 kids will be in elementary (not sure which one yet) and 1 in Kapolei Middle School.

Any updates on the Makakilo Man?

Aloha,

About 6 years ago I lived in Makakilo for a while. During the time I lived there, there was an older man, maybe 60 years old, in great shape, who would walk up and down the main road with his shirt off, often with like 10-20lb dumbbells doing curls as he walked, and with this super intense look on his face. I never knew who he was but it always made me smile; he was for sure a unique character. I haven't lived there for a long time but I was wondering if anyone knew his story?
