Waikiki War Memorial Natatorium, O‘ahu: New Steps Toward its Preservation
February 26, 2025 |
Presenter Mo Radke will expound on the history of this remarkable World War I memorial and report on ongoing efforts to preserve it, including its current status as an endangered site and extremely significant war memorial.
Dedicated in 1927 to honor 10,000 citizens of Hawai’i who served in World War I, the Waikiki War Memorial Natatorium was conceived as more than a war memorial. The salt water swimming pool on the beach of Waikiki once served as a living memorial for people to take part in its long history of indigenous swimming traditions and its Olympic legacy.
Presenter: Mo Radke, President, Friends of the Natatorium
