More than 35 years ago, thousands of Anchorage community members purchased personalized bricks that became part of the walkways and gathering spaces in Town Square Park. These bricks reflect decades of local history - family names, milestones, memorials, and celebrations that helped make the park a meaningful downtown landmark.
As part of the ongoing reconstruction of Town Square Park, these commemorative bricks have reached the end of their lifecycle and must be removed. To honor the individuals and families who contributed to this community effort, the Municipality of Anchorage will be returning the bricks to their original owners.
Community members will be invited to claim their bricks during a pickup period this summer pending construction schedules. Anyone who prefers not to keep their brick(s) will also have the option to forfeit it/them for repurposing.
We’re grateful to everyone whose brick helped make Town Square Park a welcoming, memorable space for more than three decades. For ongoing construction updates and project information, please visit the
Town Square Park Master Plan page.
