I was mousing around on google earth and found an inland area where Kaloli point first curves out, marked Hui Hanalike Park in HPP. I also found 2 parks labeled Kaimu Park, one makai of where Verna's Beach is, and one mauka of that little community. I am sure they weren't on google earth a year ago or so. Does anyone know anything about these places? Are they really undeveloped parks, or did google earth get it wrong?

Kaimu Beach County Park was covered with lava in the the flows that also covered the settlement of Kaimu. (if you have an early full color topographic map of Hawai'i Island printed by UH, it still has the park, later maps just reference the settlement, on the lava flow map... )
We have a 1928 topo map that has Hanalike beach, that is within the Shipman property, Hilo side of Kaloli Pt.... is this the same area?
It may have come onto google, re: the 50 yr plan Shipman submitted a few years ago....

Hui Hanalike Park is not on Shipman property, it shows as being bounded by Paradise Ala Kai, Lilikoi, and Lemiwai streets, in HPP just Makai of Beach road.
Recently google earth has started showing all these county "parks" I've never seen before. The mauka Kaimu park is shown as being makai of Chain of Craters road on undeveloped land that looks like its all mango trees, the other park is labeled Kaimu Beach Park and is shown as being across from the Kalapana Village cafe just north of the path out to the "new" black sand beach.

Here's a page from a google book:
http://books.google.com/books?id=ligZzOytgK4C&pg=PA33&lpg=PA33&dq=%22Hui+Hanalike+Park%22&source=bl&ots=HmBcf-eUbB&sig=nfrw8urJx1FjhfIPtjUzx70yIMw&hl=en&ei=5-xnTNqqEcP18Abe9uzrCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=15&ved=0CEMQ6AEwDg#v=onepage&q=%22Hui%20Hanalike%20Park%22&f=false
You can google "Hui Hanalike Park" and the link will be in the result list also.

That description seems like it is describing the Paradise shoreline park that is between Paradise & Makuu, where Beach Road is undercut by cliff erosion. (I do not know if it is a county park....I had always thought it was the Homeowners Assn land... but that is just a guess, someone could check out the plats... if they really wanted the answer)
ETA: for part of the Park, there is no more makai of Beach road... the waves are working at undercutting the road...and winning.

The area marked on google earth as this "Hui Hanalike Park" is not on the Makai side of much of anything, it is land and road locked at what is basically the base of Kaloli point where it joins the rest of HPP. Bounded by Paradise Ala Kai, Lilikoi, and Lemiwai streets, houses and road are between it and the cliffs. It does not match the description posted as from the google book.
We drove by today after walking our dogs along the cliffs and there is a house on part of what is marked as a park. I will stop in at the HPPOA office and see what their maps show. That would actually be a good place for a neighborhood park when HPP gets built out.

There is a park with no name on Paradise Ala Kai, at the foot of C Street. It is a County park. Don't expect picnic benches. a swing, a BBQ, bathrooms, a lawn or guys playing shuffleboard. Do expect autograph trees, wild brush, uneven lava and guys fishing from time to time. Oh, and a great view! I wouldn't stand any closer to the cliff than 30 feet today.
In the meantime, occupy Hui Hanalike Park!
Hui Hanalike was the old name for Hawaiian Paradise Park, I think, and I prefer it. "Hawaiian Paradise Park" sounds like a trailer park.

There is county land right across the street from the exact place you are describing. Interesting. These is this one small area along Paradise Ala Kai that has a couple paths down to the cliffs and it is absolutely county property. But it is on the oceanfront. Interesting that it is in the same location, just across the street from where you describe.
