About Forsythe Park in Anchorage

Forsythe Park is a 30.1-acre public park located in Anchorage, Alaska. This expansive green space offers visitors a blend of natural beauty and recreational facilities within an urban setting. The park features tall trees that provide ample shade, grassy areas for relaxation, and a paved path system for walking and jogging.

Originally homesteaded in the 1940s, the Forsythe family wished to preserve the property in its natural state. They eventually sold the land, which was then developed into the public park it is today. The park's design maintains much of its original natural character while incorporating various amenities for community use.

Forsythe Park serves as a popular destination for local residents, offering a range of outdoor activities and spaces for community gatherings. The park's layout includes open fields suitable for casual sports and picnicking, as well as more structured recreational areas.
