I have been in Anchorage for several days now. I don’t mean to criticize, but downtown Anchorage is an area in serious need of revitalization. It has a few nice small parks and green areas. It has lovely trails, mainly following Ship Creek and the bay. It has a couple of lovely larger parks with trails. Downtown has some wonderful restaurants and some nice shops also. However, the downtown area as a whole needs revitalization.

South of town is Potter’s Marsh, a wonderful place to bird.

Just north of the airport is Earthquake Park. At least part of the park, near the water is where homes used to be, but the homes sat on a cliff and were destroyed in the 1964 earthquake when part of the land slid into the water.
