For 27 years, Diamond Head Bark Park has served as a destination for dogs, a haven on the mauka slope of Lē‘ahi where pooches meet, run and play without being tethered to a leash. Dog-loving philanthropist Clark Hatch established the park in 1997 as a gift to the community and has funded the nonprofit that supports the park’s upkeep ever since.
This year, for the first time, a fundraiser is in the works to support the privately managed park. Volunteers are creating a 2025 calendar featuring 13 pups, all park regulars, who were snapped by professional photographer Caleb Heikes. To purchase or donate, visit barkparkhonolulu.com.
