Project Overview
Elderberry Park is one of Anchorage's oldest and most loved parks. In 2015-2016, Anchorage Parks and Recreation worked with community members to develop the
Elderberry Park Master Plan that will guide development at the park over the next 20 years.
Anchorage Parks and Recreation will be upgrading Elderberry Park in 2023. Proposed improvements include new playground equipment, a custom rock and ice climbing wall, a net climber, a unique swing, a sand pit, railroad track-themed paths and plazas, new tables and benches, upgraded LED lighting, landscaping, and new interpretive signage.
