Ambassador Homepage

Trail Watch Ambassadors are expected to devote about 2 hours to the program each week. The requirement is to conduct a round trip on the agreed upon trail segment within the assigned 2 hour period as opposed to being present on the segment for the entire 2 hours. This allows Ambassadors to extend their patrols to adjacent trail segments, expand the number of patrols they can do and gives them the option of meeting their patrol obligations more expeditiously as their individual circumstances may, from time to time, require. The time periods of 6-8AM, 4-6PM, 6-8PM & 8-10PM on the trail segments listed below should be used for consideration. At present the 5 trail segments requiring Ambassador coverage are:

CT1 - Downtown – Westchester Lagoon
CT2 - Westchester Lagoon – Earthquake Park
CH1 - Westchester Lagoon – Seward Highway
CH2 – Seward Highway – Goose Lake
CC6 - University Lake (Tudor/Bragaw) - Campbell Creek Park (Lake Otis Parkway)

The hours of coverage are:

6 AM to 8 AM Monday through Friday
4 PM to 10 PM Daily

Assignments are made on a first requested/first granted basis. Those that have the flexibility should include all periods during which they can be available to asssit assignment to those open period(s) and trail segments with the highest priority for coverage. Ambassadors’ schedules are carried forward to the next month unless the Trail Watch Coordinator is notified to do otherwise by individuals who’d like to change their patrols. Those “Trail Watchers” unable to make the Ambassador level of commitment are encouraged to volunteer for any of the time periods and segments doubling basis coverage.

To sign up for a shift or to make changes e-mail John McCleary the Trail Watch Coordinator at mccleaji@ci.anchorage.ak.us at Parks and Recreation. CLICK HERE to view schedules on the Ambassador calendar.
