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!

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.

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*

We were recently able to sneak in, early afternoon on a partly cloudy day. Score! Also only had my youngest in tow, score! She got to enjoy everything fully --no rush. Yay! There are benches, a more common swing set, another swing that is the highlight of this playground, a cool slide, climbing structure, pull-up climber and I believe a porta-potty, also. Highly recommend!

It seats 4 and is super fun to play on for little and big people alike. I like this park because it also is connected to the Chester Creek Trail and the Goose Creek spur. It also has a play ground, trees and open space in equal measure, adequate parking, a baseball field, and a bball court that doubles as an ice hockey rink in winter. SLICK Y'ALL!!!

Aside from the ice rink/basket ball court and small amount of playground equipment, there isn't…read moremuch incentive to go out of your way for this one. It does, however, serve well enough as another one of Anchorage's little neighborhood parks, tucked back into the Airport Heights residential area. For those that live in the area, it's a fairly quick stroll to/from Fire Island Bakery's nearby shop or fast access to the Lanie Fleischer Chester Creek trail. If you're on a long bike ride with the kids, this isn't a bad rest point though you might just consider Goose Lake park which is just over the nearby bridge (crossing Northern Lights). There's also a baseball field next to the hockey rink but not much else. Anchorage has quite a high number of these little parks hidden away in its neighborhoods. This isn't the best of them but it'll do for a sunny afternoon stop.

This park is conveniently connected to the trail system which connects it to several other parks and bodies of water. This has become a popular location for birthday parties and is unofficial dog park since the official dog park down the street has become unsafe due to druggie. This park is sunnier and more exposed and less popular with people causing problems.

Little Campbell Lake (aka Beer Can Lake - a truly undeserved moniker) is a sweet little lake trail tucked away at the entry of Kincaid park. It has it's own parking lot and is several miles away from the Chalet and soccer fields. It's really in it's own world. It has a loop trail around that is shy of a mile. There are several trails that connect at this location at or near the parking lot. The Little Campbell is also a stocked Lake, so although it's small, its a popular fishing location. And I frequently note kids and dogs swimming here. Frankly, the water looks too... healthy with plant matter (slimy!) for swimming, but that's just me. This is an awesome location for scouting mushrooms and berries, I always find awesome stuff in this area. Rarely do find the parking lot full. As with most parks in Anchorage, the one thing that irritates me is unleashed dogs and crap that is left behind. Nothing like dog crap to ruin our pristine landscape. But other than that, this is a very accessible, but fairly unspoiled location for a quick get away.

This park was first developed in the 1980s to provide an oasis from urban activities in the city…read more Looking at some of the past reviews, this park has really fallen off. It seems to be an urban camper hangout. There is not much here except for some open green space, some paved pathways and seat-walls. There is metered street parking, commercial parking lots and garages all within a reasonable walking distance. I do not see much utility for this park other than being a hangout spot, a spot to eat your lunch, and an occasional special event. The park has been known to host events such as multiple concert series daily throughout the Summer. I would be very open to attending an event here, but outside of that, I would probably pass. Hopefully, this park transforms in the Summer to something much better with flowers blossoming and a more robust maintenance schedule.

There is no dedicated parking or facilities so it seems like really just a place for the locals. While I was there, a well dressed and groomed middle aged woman ran through making "donkey ears" at me and yelling obscenities for no reason. I found it amusing, but this was witnessed by a dad out with his 8 yo or so daughter. They should not have had to witness that. Honestly I think there must be better places to view Cook Inlet up close and personal.
