Puʻu Hawaiʻiloa is a cinder cone located in Honolulu County, Hawaii on the Mokapu Peninsula.[1][2]

Much like neighboring Ulupaʻu Crater. it formed as a vent of the Koʻolau Range during the Honolulu Volcanic Series. The material of the cone is nepheline basalt.[2] Puʻu Hawaiʻiloa is used by Marine Corps Base Hawaii and the Wailuku Community Center is next to it.[3]
