Anchorage seeks to improve and maintain parks and trails; preserve natural areas; protect water quality around local lakes, creeks and streams; and provide for playground and family recreation areas. Working together we can raise funds from a variety of sources to accomplish these goals.

Federal funds, state funds, and donations from individuals, foundations and corporations, can be leveraged to invest in renovation and repair, to protect our investment in Anchorage's public lands.

These proposed projects are improvements that upgrade safety, appearance and function of our public spaces. Projects range from re-seeding lawns and providing irrigation to park land, installing wayfinding signs in parks and on trails, providing new play equipment, replacing old park amenities such as trash cans and picnic benches, and installing lighting for recreation areas and trails.

All of the projects on this Parks & Recreation list are a result of public demand. Working with groups throughout Anchorage , Parks & Recreation intends to be responsive to community needs, and seek funding for projects large and small. The needs identified point to a large deferred maintenance list which we hope to reduce from year to year as we strive to repair the growing number of public assets in our care. See our “Capital Improvement Program 2007-2012” for a glimpse of projects to come…building on 2007 successes!
