So Anchorage, the Valley, and the Kenai have a cool thing…read more Every summer college baseball players are recruited to play two months in Alaska. This stadium is for the Buccaneers and the pilots. The Valley has a team called the Miners with a really great team and a solid stadium. Miner burgers are great! Many players go on to play in MLB. This stadiums has several beers on tap, a beer garden, and concessions. The concessions include hot dogs, burgers, popcorn, nachos, and assorted candy. They also have frito pies. The best seats, in my opinion, exist on top of the dugouts, and they are 7 bucks a piece. I hear they have a solstice game at 9 pm. Come root for some summer baseball!

This is a ballpark with three fields and it's also a dog park, which I used to love. Unfortunately,…read morenot one of the fields are enclosed so it's more like a dog free for all. My pup's a runner and while he'll come back I'm not always completely sure of the havoc he'll wreak before then. I used to be able to block one area off with bits of corrugated metal and plywood, as did other park users, but then it was removed. It's not the most well kept park, and it's one of the least supported. It's a shame since it's in a good location, and off chester creek trail, but it's not as maintained as some parks in higher income areas. I still like this park enough to give it 3 stars, but if it was enclosed park it would get 5 stars.

This place is close to my house and has 4 different ballpark areas with seats and dugouts. I like…read morecoming here because it's close to my house and there are trails around it to get lost on. I bring my dog here to fetch since I can lock him in one and he can run to his heart's content. In the summer there is always some ball game going on so getting on to ourselves is little hard, but I can come in the morning or the evening. There are quite a few bear proof garbage bins around which is great for to toss the dog dookie. One downside is that since trails connect to this park there is dog poo on the ground. Some owners aren't prepared to clean up after their pets. It would be helpful to have dog poo bag dispensers like at some places.

The baseball fields are off to one side, the playground is off to the other, and in the middle is a dog park. A friend told me about the playground here as it is mostly tucked away, in comparison to the ultra busy "Jewel lake park." Love this perfect little park. It's really picturesque especially when the planes are flying over. The swing area was noticeably flooded but other than that, decent play equipment for 2-5yr olds to enjoy.

This park is located in Anchorage's Mountainview Neighborhood, just outside of downtown. The park…read morewas originally developed as military housing in the 1940's. The park as you see it today was developed in the 1980s. It spans 66 acres and is leased from the Joint Base Elemendorf-Richardson by the municipality of Anchorage. It is a decent park, but pales slightly in comparison to the park that is located right next to it. It has a couple of parking areas, with ample parking. But beware, one of the parking areas near the basketball court has some huge pot holes. The park also has a 9-hole disc golf course that is pretty decent. You will find a good multi-use field here that has football uprights and can be used for a variety of activities including soccer, football, playing catch, ultimate frisbee, or flying a kite. The little league baseball field there is trashed. There is a bunch of trash in the dugout and the bleachers are busted and turned upside down. However, it could still be used in a pinch. The full basketball court is suffering from the same neglect. The court itself is in decent shape, but the rims are missing nets. You will be chasing the ball all day if you play on that court. You will find a bunch of picnic tables scattered among the park's green space and a decent partially paved/partially natural trail. There is rumored to be a community garden, but I did not see it. That may be due to me visiting in very early Spring. Now let's talk about what the park does not have. It does not have playground equipment, nor does it have a restroom facility. This park is ok and does have a few things its neighboring park does not have such as a multi-use field or disc golf. That park has some features that this one does not have like a playground area and picnic shelters. So, ultimately, they are a good compliment to each other. This park does need some attention and I will give them the benefit of the doubt that it was in the shape that it was in due to being off season.

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.

Having completed a few 5k's this summer, I was recently re-introduced to this beautiful trail…read moresystem. I agree with other Yelpers when it comes to the trail being secluded and more "in the woods," compared to say, The Tony Knowles trail, which is a favorite of mine. Because of this, you're definitely more likely to see wildlife on this trail, so be bear and moose aware. Carry lots of bug spray. The biggest pro about this trail for me, is all the shallow fresh water access points. Please note, the most secluded parts of this trail are also home to Anchorage's homeless population, so it's best to be aware of your surroundings in general.

In the west, it starts at Westchester Lagoon and it seems to end at Goose Lake Park in the east. I use a good chunk of it to bike commute. It's nice in that it rarely intersects a road. Where it approaches a main-vain, it tunnels underneath the road. Chester Creek is also very picturesque in parts. It's got a gentle flow, it's lined with trees, and it's dotted with quaint little wooden bridges. It makes me want to sing "Over the river and through the woods, to grandmother's house we go!" It's decently groomed in the winter, and is the realm of XC skiers and fat bikers, but it can be done with some good waterproof boots, on foot, as well.

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!!!

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.
