Our take

Legend credits the menehune with Ulupo's construction, and the scale of the rockwork makes the story easy to believe. It overlooks Kawainui, once a 400-acre fishpond feeding Kailua's chiefs. Free, open Monday through Saturday, closed Sundays. Park at the Y and walk in when the gate's down.
