    Such a nice place to walk around to get a breath of fresh air. It's so beautiful and peaceful here. Being from California, it was freezing cold for me to be walking around, but I forced myself to overlook the coldness of Alaska and enjoy the scenery. It's pet friendly so I took my pup with me for a walk. He enjoyed meeting other dogs on the trail! They offer doggy bags throughout the trail just incase you forget to bring your own. This is also a great spoke to ride your bike or go for a jog! As far as parking goes, they have a tiny parking lot on site, but there's also street parking!

    Such an amazing spot!! Sat here all day and enjoyed the beautiful views and perfect weather! Many people were walking and biking here. There were many ducks, geese, and even trout! Such a great little spot!

    The Margaret Eagan Sullivan Park, more commonly known as Westchester Lagoon, is a manmade lagoon and waterfowl sanctuary. It is located along the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail near downtown. There are trails for running, biking, and skiing, as well as a nature trail. In the winter the lagoon freezes over and ice skating becomes popular. In the summer, kayakers and canoers can be seen on the water.

    Evening jog around Westchester Lagoon.

    There are frequently small sponsored events going on- the coolest of which involves ice skating in the winter.

    Ben Boeke Indoor Ice Arenas - Into the 3rd period. Anchorage up 4-1 against Fairbanks!

    I came down here on a co-worker's invite since he works at this place part-time on the weekends…read more Ben Boeke Ice Arena is a smaller sports facility located next to the Sullivan Arena on Gambell. The Anchorage Wolverines were playing against Fairbanks Saturday evening. Tickets are normally $25, but luckily I was able to get in for free by my co-worker's supervisor. It was a pleasant surprise and the hockey game was a lot of fun. Anchorage won 6-3. Aside from the game, the arena is very small, almost a fraction of the seating area at the Sullivan Arena, now being used as a homeless shelter during the winter. The arena was at full capacity with easily about several hundred people in attendance with more lined up against the balconies once there were no more seats. It would've been nice if both sides of the arena had seats. Otherwise, it was very cramped through the aisles and the stairways had people standing off to the side as people passed through. It reminds me of the airports when they announce that boarding has started. It wasn't that much easier when standing in line to get food from the concession stand for me and everyone else. One side had people watching from the balcony while the other side had the concession line. People were literally squeezing by in the middle just to get through. The wait in line wasn't long but it was a challenge to navigate the aisles without spilling your food and drinks. There was literally no area aside from the seats to eat your food if you are standing at the balcony with the exception of the standing counter opposite from the registers. Even then, people were lined up against the counter waiting so utilizing that wasn't an option. I decided to take one of the empty tables down by the admission area away from the crowds to eat my food. This kept me from watching the game for awhile, but since it was free I couldn't complain. Coming down to catch a game here is fun especially with the lively atmosphere and the blaring music in between faceoffs. Just be prepared to deal with very limited space when this place fills to capacity.

    Great place for hockey tournaments and games. Rink 1 is larger and better kept than rink 2. Both…read morerinks have heaters for the fans - which is always appreciated. However rink 2 is unbearably hot which means the ice is softer than other rinks in town. The locker rooms are well-kept, but the part of town the rink is in means sometimes we find unwanted guests -and things- in the showers. Also because it shares the same parking lot as the Sullivan Areana - Sometimes parking is next to impossible if there is an Aces or Seawolves game! Overall one of my favorite rinks to play at because of the comfort for the fans, and Rink 1 has nice ice.
