'Iolani School was among the non-profit organizations and businesses honored by Mayor Mufi Hannemann on July 3 as Hoa Paka park partners. He presented a certificate to Headmaster Dr. Val Iwashita and other park partners during his weekly press conference.
Hoa Paka is the City & County of Honolulu program that gives others the opportunity to maintain and support public parks on Oahu for the benefit of the community. 
'Iolani School has been a park partner of neighboring Ala Wai Park since the days of Mayor Frank Fasi's administration. 'Iolani staff and volunteers help maintain the bike path, stream bank and soft ball field that are adjacent to 'Iolani School and Ala Wai Elementary School. '
'Iolani also helps maintain the baseball field and other grounds of Ala Wai Park stretching between the canal and Kapiolani Boulevard.
A sign will be posted in Ala Wai Park acknowledging 'Iolani as an Alii Park Partner, the highest level of partnership.
