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.

I just love this park. It's a great place to have a picnic, bbq, sled, walk your dogs... and nobody…read moreis ever. here. It's glorious.

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.

Zip line is fenced off. Rest of park is wonderful. New surface areas under the pirate ship portion…read moreof park. Needs landscape work as getting a bit rustic.

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

I have a love-hate relationship with this park. I like it enough and have enough good memories…read morehere that my husband and I celebrated our winter wedding here. But this park is also plagued with chronic drug and alcohol addicted folks who trash public areas, including human waste. This park has insufficient parking- which is split into two separate locations. One is on the west side and the other on the north east side. The NE parking lot is where you dealers and users can typically be found. Families and children are more typically found in the west parking lot. It's common to see fish and moose along in this park on this section of Chester Creek Trail. There's a cute little playground here as well on the west side. There are some very pretty bridges in this section of the trail also. This is also one of the few locations where the creek is low enough for people to safely wade during the summer. The salmon viewing pier was condemned a few years ago and it doesn't seem like the city had any plans to fix it since it was a hangout for using. There are many varieties of plants, flowers, berries and birds found here, which make it a lovely greenspace for people and animals alike.

So often we overlook the more popular parks that are right under our noses; don't do that to…read moreCampbell Creek! Remodeled in recent years, there is a large playground for the kids. There is also a large dog park and there are various trails. There are spots to grill and picnic, and a shallow area of the creek in which people both small and large can play. There are birds, butterflies, dragonflies, and beautiful vegetation surrounding you right in the heart of the city. My two drawbacks - this is a pretty popular spot for people with kids, so don't expect it to be quiet unless you hit it on off-hours; and when packed, parking can be a bit much. *Don't forget to bring your inflatable raft so you can float down the creek to Peanut Farm when you leave* *Bring cash for the ice cream truck*

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.
