Park History

In 1972, the Scenic Park Elementary PTA requested that this property be acquired by the Municipality for use as parkland. A resolution was passed by the Anchorage Assembly in 1972 to acquire several parcels for parkland within the borough and this parcel was included in the package. The land was purchased in August 1972.

Development of the park began in 1978 with a community involvement process identifying planned uses of the park. In the late 1980’s, a lighted pathway was built from 36th Avenue to Scenic Park Elementary School.

In 2003, vandals burned down the play equipment. This park was developed with assistance from the Land & Water Conservation Fund.
