Valley of the Moon Park

610 W. 17th Ave or 519 W. 19th Ave

Park History

The Municipality of Anchorage purchased the first section of this parkland in 1955, and an additional portion was purchased
from Grace Gay in 1960. The park was named Valley of the Moon after the Indian name for Sonoma Valley in California, where Jack London lived in later years.

This park is known in the Anchorage community for the rocketship play equipment, which was originally installed in the 1960s and replaced in 1998.
