Anchorage Parks and Recreation

🚧 Campbell Creek Trail DETOUR🚧 Attention trail users! We are replacing a bridge on a section of the Campbell Creek Trail between E Dowling Rd and the Old Seward Highway as part of Phase 5 of the Campbell Creek Trail Improvements project. A detour is in place today (6/10).

🚧 Construction Update 🚧 Heads up, trail lovers! A section of the Coastal Trail at Point Woronzof will be CLOSED starting today (9/9) through Monday (9/16) for rerouting due to coastal erosion. We apologize for the inconvenience and can't wait to welcome you back next week!

@chumcan Anchorage Parks and Recreation does not condone violence or the views shared, and actions are being taken in accordance with MOA policies.

Heads up, Anchorage! The parking lot at Delong Lake is temporarily closed to assess a potentially hazardous sinkhole. Stay tuned for updates, and safety first!

It's National Volunteer Week! So, we want to give a huge THANK YOU to all the volunteers who take time out of their busy days to pick up litter, help at events, and so much more! Feeling inspired? Check out our current volunteer opportunities at muni.org/Departments/pa…

⚠️Heads up! The Dr. Lidia Selkregg Chalet in Russian Jack Springs Park is closing at 2 p.m. today due to staffing needs in our other facilities. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

Who decided to crank the heat? Our ice is starting to have a MELTDOWN! So, we are putting a FREEZE on ice maintenance for the season. With warmer days ahead and deteriorating ice, it's time to thaw out and welcome the return of the sun!

🌞 Anchorage, are you ready to LEAP for joy? Today, we're shining a little bit brighter with 10 hours and 23 minutes of sunlight on this lovely leap day! So, be sure to step outside, soak up some Vitamin D, and make the most of this bonus day!

Looking for a date for you and your sweetheart? Join us tonight (2/14) at Westchester Lagoon's Sweetheart Skate! This FREE event includes music, hot cocoa, and photo ops! So, lace up your skates and head down to the lagoon from 5:30-9 pm for a fun-filled Valentine's Day!⛸️

UPDATE: Luckily, it was a quick fix and Dimond Pool will reopen tomorrow (1/4)!

⚠️ Heads up! Due to a hot water issue, Dimond Pool is a tad frigid and will be closed until further notice starting today (1/3)! With that said, don't be too sad! We are moving the morning lap swim and the water aerobics program to West Pool until Dimond is back up and running!

⚠️Heads up, West Pool users! West Pool is closed for maintenance today (12/21) due to heating issues. MOA and ASD are working on a fix and hope to reopen tomorrow (12/22).

Wondering why lake ice maintenance hasn't started yet? We can't wait to start work, but ice depths/conditions are preventing crews from doing so safely. Hot mop trucks weigh ~7,500 lbs when loaded with water and require 12" of ice, and recent measurements are less than 10".

What do Anchorage and the Wicked Witch have in common—they are MELTING! We know folks can't wait for ice maintenance to start, but while conditions are wet, our teams are holding off on flooding rinks and measuring ice on lakes. As conditions improve, we will keep you updated!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, ANCHORAGE! 🦃🥧 In celebration of the holiday, our downtown office, pools, Kincaid and Lidia Selkregg Chalets, and Fairview and Spenard Recreation Centers will be closed on 11/23 and 11/24!

⚠️ Heads up! West Pool is closed for maintenance today (11/20) due to the circulation pumps acting up and making the temperatures FRIGID! Consider instead joining in a lap swim opportunity at Dimond Pool from noon to 1:30 pm or 6:30 - 7:30 pm.

Heads up, Anchor-town! LITERALLY! All this heavy, wet snow and the prediction of gusty winds for today (11/15) equals a potentially dangerous combination! If you plan on heading out on trails, please be aware of down trees and breaking branches.

Don't hate us—our good friend, musician, and storyteller, Mr. Clay, is enjoying a week off. That means that our fan-favorite program, Stories with Mr. Clay, is canceled for 11/7. Please don't worry! Our musical master will return for next week's program on 11/14!

If you want to ignite a love of winter in your 4-5 year old, consider registering them for a Little Nordic class to help build skills and develop a love of skiing. No experience is necessary to start! Learn more/register at muni.org/active
