The rotary club of honolulu has 160 members comprising business, civic and community leaders both young and old. They meet weekly at noon on a Tuesday in the Monarch Room of the famed “Pink Palace” – the Royal Hawaiian Hotel located in Waikiki.
One of the current rotary projects is the creation of “Centennial Park”. A walk amongst the modern concrete tourist mecca reveals little in the way of culture or history and even less ‘green space’. To a small degree this will soon change. Thanks to the efforts of the Rotary Club of Honolulu and Rotarians throughout the state of Hawaii the only remaining undeveloped land in central Waikiki will soon be transformed from a barren debis-strewn gravel lot into an oasis of greenery , education, culture and history.
They describe the vision as follows:
-historic “roto-stone” markers
-Rotarian – planted gardens
-elevated “Paul Harris” performance lawn
-rolling “Grand Lawn”
-regal wrought iron/stone wall fencing
-natural stone seating
-meandering natural stone walkways
-expansive shade trees
