Park Where Sayid and Essam Play Soccer

Hawaii State Capitol Grounds, Honolulu, HI

Hawaii State Capitol Grounds, Honolulu, HI

In the same Lost Season 1, Episode 21: The Greater Good, we later find Sayid has infiltrated the terrorist cell but still does not know their target or where they are storing explosives stolen from the U.S, Government. We pick up Sayid and his old friend Essam playing soccer in what appears to be a part in Sydney, Australia. You can clearly see the Sydney Opera House in the left of the scene. Sayid soon learns that his friend has been chosen to die as a martyr delivering the explosives to their target in a truck bomb. Sayid is now faced with allowing his old friend to continue with the plan and possibly die or losing Nadia forever.

The park in this scene is actually the grounds of the Hawaii State Capitol Building located at in Honolulu's central historic area directly behind the 'Iolani Palace. The actual scene was filmed on the grassy area in the southwest corner of the grounds. If you stand in the grassy area and look towards Richards Street, you'll find many of these buildings. If you look closely at the screen capture linked to below, you'll see that many of the buildings are actually part of the Honolulu skyline.
