Lester McCoy Pavilion

As I walked around this little pavilion with no one in sight, I felt as if I entered an old world. The vines that surrounded the pillars looked untended and added to the charm. Public functions here are prohibited but in my option should be considered.

A bronze memorial hanging on wall read: “A gift to the people from Hazel Corning McCoy as a memorial to her husband, Charles Lester McCoy, who dedicated his services to the development of parks in the city and the enhancement of its natural beauty. Mr. McCoy was the first chairman of the former Park board and served from 1931 to 1941.

Through research, I learned that Mr. McCoy was fascinated with natural beauty. As a tribute, his wife dedicated a beautiful pavilion to him for the people of Honolulu to share.
