Families to Parks
Upcoming Events
SAVE THE DATE! Families to Parks Event on Saturday, March 21st at Russian Jack North! Stay tuned here for more details.
On Saturday, March 21st, from 11am to 2 pm, Alaska State Parks will be hosting an open house style Families to Parks Day at Russian Jack North Park. There will be activities and snacks, as well as information on state park areas with ideas on how to get outside to our parks more often!
Our goal for Families to Parks events is to encourage families of all sizes and abilities to visit our parks to get a taste of what our outdoor spaces have to offer! While our events are intended for ALL humans, these events are great for families new to Alaska, brought up by work or the military that are getting acquainted with their new home, and for families that are just looking to get their families outside and learn more about their environment and community. This event will focus on the history of the mine and the unique environment in which it resides.
Current Partners:
Revel Treks and Tours
Salmon Berry Tours
Municipality of Anchorage
Prepper's Pack
Anchorage Parks Foundation
