Listed on the Hawaii Register of Historic Places on June 9, 1988 as an element of the thematic group "City & County of Honolulu Art Deco Parks." This park, along with Ala Moana Park, Ala Wai Park Clubhouse, Haleiwa Beach Park, and Kawananakoa Playground are listed on the Hawaii Register of Historic Places (site # 80-14-1388) as the thematic group "City & County of Honolulu, Art Deco Parks." This is historic because of its association with the playground movement, both nationally and locally. It is also considered historic for its architectural and landscape design by Harry Sims Bent. This park is considered one of Bent's best playground design and a good example of Art Deco/Art Moderne styles in hardscape.
