ANCHORAGE – Today, the Anchorage Parks and Recreation Department announced a process to update the master plan for Town Square Park. The new master plan will provide a 20 year vision for Town Square Park, seeking to address community issues and concerns and identify strategies to ensure the park is a safe and thriving public space for all.
“Parks and Recreation is excited to work with the public to create a new vision for Town Square Park, making it more vibrant, inviting, and safe for residents, guests, and visitors to enjoy well into the future,” said Parks and Recreation Director John Rodda.
Advisory groups and public workshops will address issues such as park safety, evaluating and understanding design and usage, analyzing the role of programming in civic space, and revisiting how Town Square Park fits into the long term fabric of downtown. Members of the public can apply online to participate as part of the Citizens Advisory Group or the Technical Advisory group. Please see the attached timeline for a more detailed process schedule.
“As the heart of downtown, Town Square Park ought to reflect our community as a both a physical place and a gathering place,” stated Mayor Ethan Berkowitz.
