I consider this the "locals only" version of Elderberry Park…read more(http://www.yelp.com/biz/elderberry-park-anchorage) What does that mean? It's a bit more off the beaten path. You'll likely only find residents of the Bootlegger's Cove neighborhood hanging out here. It's smaller than the Elderberry, but much, much less crowded. There are 5 parking spaces. Unlike Elderberry, it's unfortunately not connected to the Coastal Trail (http://www.yelp.com/biz/tony-knowles-coastal-trail-anchorage), Why would you go here? If you want to picnic, near downtown, AWAY FROM THE RIFF-RAFF. There are also whales for the kids to crawl all over. In the summer you can gawk at tourists coming into Anchorage on the trains, as they gawk at Alaska.

I'm downtown a lot and Nulbay Park isn't the highest on my list of strolls to take. It's a great…read moreview of the inlet but that's about it. If I lived down in the cove, I'd probably come here quite often to read or write but as it stands, there isn't much reason to visit when you're already so close to the Coastal Trail, Elderberry Park or even the Delaney Park Strip. There are a couple of cute whales here but not much else for kids. I probably see more people walking their dogs here than anything else. Since Nulbay is so far back into the neighborhood, I rarely see many people kicking back on the lawn which can definitely be a plus! All-in-all, a nice little unpopular spot with a great view hidden away in what I think is one of Anchorage's cutest neighborhoods.

This park was first developed in the 1980s to provide an oasis from urban activities in the city…read more Looking at some of the past reviews, this park has really fallen off. It seems to be an urban camper hangout. There is not much here except for some open green space, some paved pathways and seat-walls. There is metered street parking, commercial parking lots and garages all within a reasonable walking distance. I do not see much utility for this park other than being a hangout spot, a spot to eat your lunch, and an occasional special event. The park has been known to host events such as multiple concert series daily throughout the Summer. I would be very open to attending an event here, but outside of that, I would probably pass. Hopefully, this park transforms in the Summer to something much better with flowers blossoming and a more robust maintenance schedule.

I am particularly fond of H3 - The Alaskan Hawaiian Raggae band is awesome (how's that for a hybrid?) 2. The summertime flower planting here is impressive. It's always fun to see what color combos the city gardeners cook up. This is also where they show off they fancy collection of dahlias every year.

This park is named for the "Scenic" area/neighborhood, there aren't really views here…read more What does this park have? * Two tennis courts * Picnic area * Trails connecting with Scenic Park Elementary School * On-street parking The parking is pretty sparse for this park, it would be tricky to come here with a big group! There are a couple picnic tables, and most of the park is on a mini-hill. Would be a great spot if you lived in the neighborhood. If you don't, well, there are definitely better spots. Anchorage has so many great parks it can be hard for some of the tinier ones to compete!

Little Campbell Lake (aka Beer Can Lake - a truly undeserved moniker) is a sweet little lake trail tucked away at the entry of Kincaid park. It has it's own parking lot and is several miles away from the Chalet and soccer fields. It's really in it's own world. It has a loop trail around that is shy of a mile. There are several trails that connect at this location at or near the parking lot. The Little Campbell is also a stocked Lake, so although it's small, its a popular fishing location. And I frequently note kids and dogs swimming here. Frankly, the water looks too... healthy with plant matter (slimy!) for swimming, but that's just me. This is an awesome location for scouting mushrooms and berries, I always find awesome stuff in this area. Rarely do find the parking lot full. As with most parks in Anchorage, the one thing that irritates me is unleashed dogs and crap that is left behind. Nothing like dog crap to ruin our pristine landscape. But other than that, this is a very accessible, but fairly unspoiled location for a quick get away.

Wide open field that is always maintained. The trail to the views has gotten wider. The back field is open enough for multiple visitors to be there are once, comfortably. I've had a picnic with my toddler here, while couples walked the perimeter, and others walked their dogs. There are 2 trails that will take you down to the mudflats. So far, I've visited on sunny mornings/high noons. I can't wait to experience a few sunsets here.

There is no dedicated parking or facilities so it seems like really just a place for the locals. While I was there, a well dressed and groomed middle aged woman ran through making "donkey ears" at me and yelling obscenities for no reason. I found it amusing, but this was witnessed by a dad out with his 8 yo or so daughter. They should not have had to witness that. Honestly I think there must be better places to view Cook Inlet up close and personal.

I spent the better part of a day shoveling snow off the bridge so our guests didn't get sucked into 3 feet of snow, but it was worth it. My only complaint is the city needs to do something about the parking lot. Since I always walk here, I didn't realize until my wedding day how absolutely jacked this parking lot is. If you don't have an all wheel vehicle, there is a very good likelihood you will bottom out and get stuck in the ginormous holes at the entrance to this parking lot. Other than that, it was a beautiful day.
