This new park is still only in phase ONE and it's dope as hell. We stumbled across it tonight on an…read moreevening drive and did a U-e so we could check it out. They've got tons of parking, incredible LED lighting so the park is able to be used during our long winters, and a really innovative playground with all kinds of weird equipment you just have to check out for yourself. At the back if the park are other phases of the park that aren't fully completed yet- baseball and paintball. Also with tons of parking. The park also has a little picnic pavilion with grills that can be reserved for special events. This is a nice addition to south Anchorage since they didn't have many parks.

When I was scouting this park for review, the road next to it was being ripped open…read more It seems like a pretty nice park. It's got a picnic shelter, some fancy new playground equipment, and tennis courts (which were locked shut?). Profile of the park is pretty long, room for dogfriends to run. The section of Fish Creek running through here looks...pretty weak, like it's barely flowing :-/ This place is also a pokestop.

There's swings for kids of all ages, including a really great swing that would be really excellent for kids (even big kids) With disabilities. And the two person purple T-Rex is bomb. Definitely one of the best parks in Anchorage. To my mind it's only second to Westchester.

This playground/lake park is busy from sunrise to sundown, when the weather is good…read more It consists of a large pavilion/shelter, big kids playground, toddler playground, open green field, beach/sand/lake, and a kids' zipline. A few sitting areas are sprinkled throughout. As someone who avoids small talk and parent interactions, I try to show up at the crack of dawn. There will still be folks here, but at least you aren't elbow to elbow. It's difficult to bring my kids to these swimming areas without the intention of swimming. I prefer for my kids to swim at Little Campbell Lake (near Kincaid Park), instead.

A nice spot just off Dimond. The park has two parking areas- one just off Dimond on the south end…read moreof the lake that can be a little crowded and a larger one at the northeast side of the lake. Here, there are picnic areas and a playground area for kids. The lake is supposedly stocked with fish, so you usually see folks ice fishing in the winter. The south entrance has a small dock that is also good for fishing in warmer weather.

I LOVE this park. It's tucked away in a quiet neighborhood…read moreand has something to offer everyone. It also (I almost hate to tell this secret) has two of the nicest outdoor tennis courts in town. I've been playing tennis here for years and they were always pretty quiet but with the pandemic this summer they were being used all the time. A great space to spend some time visiting with friends and getting some fresh air. There are baseball fields down the hill and a great bike path!

Wolverine is a large neighborhood park in southwest Anchorage that's pretty popular with people who…read morelive in the immediate vicinity, but not the kind of park you'd go out of your way for. It's almost an entire city block, but there's not much there. It's got some aging toddler playground stuff, but nothing for older kids. There's a picnic pavilion with 4 tables (perpetual birthday parties here) but no grills or anything. There's tons of large trees, so the mosquitos are off the chain. The park is carved into little zones by all the trees that create private little nooks, so sight lines can be a problem for paranoid parents. It's a very attractive park, but frankly, not very functional. It's also worth noting it is NOT attached to the trail system.

It's a cool little park with a shaded picnic area I would recommend this park to anyone near byeread more

This inclusive multi-use park/playground is centrally located in Anchorage near the public library…read more Parking is ample and accessible in at least 3 different areas surrounding the park. All of my kids have played here and enjoyed the offerings. Surprisingly, there isn't a single swing at this park FYI. But still tons to do, to keep the kids entertained. There is a man-made pond front and center. Lots of birds + bird poop. Lots of walking/biking trails here. Lots of space to lay out. Tons of space to hold events here. I attended some of the best music festivals/concerts with mountain backdrop here; but due to disagreements with the city and the unhoused population, the space isn't utilized for these purposes anymore. Highly recommend.

It's a pretty large park, located in the middle of Midtown…read more Great place to go when there is a festival/event of some sort going down. It's also a good place to take a lunch break if you work in the area. If neither of these conditions are satisfied, there are much better parks to explore in Anchorage ;)

When I think about this park, all I think about is "sneaky trails"…read more I found out about it while navigating through town using Google Map's cycling directions. The bike/foot trails through here allow you to do things cars could only dream of. If you were being chased by a car on your bike, you'd blast through this park into another neighborhood and all they'd be able to do is shake their fist, throw their Ray-Bans on the ground, and exclaim "CURSES!". Cuz you'd be gone, man. It's also got a nice, small playground for the little tikes.

This a great park. I went here for a relative's first birthday party…read more You can rent the covered picnic area for $150 for 4 hours. It is large with several tables. There is a very big built in grill area inside the covered area. If you forget to go pick up the keys to the grill u can bring your own grill (which is what we had to do. Lol). This place is huge. There is a playground area, ball fields, large empty fields for Frisbee or whatever and many hiking trails. Though there is much to do there we all stuck pretty close to the covered area. There were many babies at this get together so there were no random games of catch or Frisbee. Clean up is pretty easy. There are large bear proof trash containers and even a place for coals. We threw some stuff away but hauled out the coals and some of the trash. I was pleased to see the parking area was close to the area we were using. It made it so nice to help the hosts load up everything to go. There were many nice people out with friends and family. We had too many cupcakes and strangers seemed pleased to be offered a treat. My evite said 7551 Elmore and the Web site says 8101 Elmore. My GPS in my car has not been updated so didn't accept either address. I used map quest on my phone and got there with no problem. Not sure what the address really is but it was certainly easy enough (even for me) to find. I grew up here but have absolutely no sense of direction. The next time I go back I will investigate some of the trails. They looked so peaceful.
