In 1876, King David Kalakaua, Monarch of Hawai‘i, made lands of the Leahi Crown Holdings available, “to the people of Hawai‘i.”The 300-acre parcel was primarily a marshland of old fishponds, lagoons and islands. In 1877 King Kalakaua dedicated Kapiolani Regional Park named for his consort Queen Kapiolani. Appointed Park Association members developed the land with the help of royal subsidies to display the King’s private bird collection and to feature a horseracing track.
