Favorite Park of Anchorage Locals

There are plenty of parks in Anchorage, so you know if you can find one the locals love, you have found a gem. The Muldoon park has two miles worth of multi-use trails, and the entire park is heavily wooded, providing plenty of shade and comfort. This is a great park for walking your dog, so if you are traveling with your pet, head over and let them cruise around and explore the territory. The dogs must be on leashes, and there are no off-leash parks in the area. The park is thought of as being more laid back than a lot of the parks in the area. It is more suited for a nice stroll, as opposed to a place that is over-crowded with athletes and fitness gurus. The trails in the park are not maintained. During the winter the ski tracks are laid by residents who spend time skiing in the park. There are no restrooms in the park, so be prepared if you are planning to spend a significant amount of time there. The park has no admission fee. The land was originally the property of Arnold Muldoon, who obviously inspired the name. Nearby hotels in Anchorage include the Alaskan Frontier Gardens Bed and Breakfast, the Copper Whale Inn, the Earth Bed and Breakfasts and Tours, and A Glacier Bed and Breakfast. After a long day in the park, you are sure to be hungry and you can grab at bite in Anchorage at the Glacier Brewhouse, Simon and Seafort's, Sacks Cafe and Restaurant, the Snow Good Restaurant and Brewery, or the Snow City Cafe.
