About

Hickam Community Playground is a well-maintained community playground located on Hickam Air Force Base in Honolulu. For military families stationed at the joint Pearl Harbor-Hickam base, it's a convenient, close-by playground option that stays well-maintained thanks to the structured environment of a military installation.

The playground equipment is designed for younger kids — toddlers through about age 10 — with a mix of climbing structures, slides, and open grass areas nearby. The base location typically means less crowding and better maintenance than comparable public parks.

An important practical note: this playground is on a military installation. Access requires appropriate authorization — either military ID, a sponsor, or other authorized access credentials. Non-military visitors should not plan a trip here without verifying access requirements first by calling 808-449-3100.

For military families visiting Oahu while stationed at another base, inter-base access arrangements are typically available. Check with the base welcome center for visitor procedures.
