Sun Yat-Sen Park in Keokea remains one of Maui's hidden treasures, although the county has let much of the park fall into poor condition.
The park is located between mile markers 18 & 19 on the Kula Highway (Hwy 37). Being at the 2400 ft. level, the park offers excellent views of Kaho'olawe and Molokini Atoll. It's a popular spot from which to view sunset.
The park honors Dr. Sun Yat-Sen who served as the first provisional president when the Republic of China was founded in 1912 and who is known as the "father of modern China." Sun Yat-Sen's brother lived nearby in what was once a small Chinese community and Sun visited here many times. The park has a bronze statue of Yat-Sen along with a few other memorial statues and art.
