Reviews of Earthquake Park

Gayle V

This is a MUST visit if in Anchorage. You can ride bikes, or walk or take pictures along the way. It’s VERY common to see a mama moose and a baby moose walking and eating leaves. We love coming here. Almost every time we come, we see moose or a baby moose. You can also sit and watch the airplanes take off and land as Earthquake Park is right by the airport. ✈️ We highly recommend coming here and it’s FREE!

Cendy Prator

It has changed so much since I lived there. Not what it used to look like many years ago. It is very pretty with lots of walking/biking trails. Pets are allowed. There is some information posted about the 64 earthquake which is cool.

Faezeh Mesbahi Pitstick

About 1.5 mile Hike each way to the end which you can see airplanes on the jetway. Take off or landing both are super cool. Along the way there are some stops and view point one of them is downtown anchorage. I recommend renting a bike downtown and just do less than a 10 miles round trip bike ride because it’s a really nice trail.

Jesse James White

Nice park along the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail. There is interpretive signage throughout the area, including around the monument to the great earthquake and along the Inside the Slide Trail. Moose are present, so be on the lookout. Good sized parking lot, no restrooms.

Nathan Wadman

This is a nice park. Fairly quiet, not many people. Up in AK for vacay and decided to stop by after grabbing lunch. Paved path makes for convenient walking. Love Alaska. So pretty with the spruce trees everywhere. Even saw a bunny.

Lyndsay Anderson

Neat park, easily accessible, and I was ecstatic it was in the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail. The park was on my todo list so we killed two birds with one stone! The information boards were in decent condition and gave the information well! Such a unique sight and definitely worth seeing!

Pavel Viktor Boxan

We really enjoyed this park even in winter. There's lot of board describing the 1964 earthquake. The view of parsley frozen inlet is pretty cool and we got to see two moose.

pbandj37

A neat park not far from the airport. Ample parking, educational signs and a great view of the area effected by the massive 1964 earthquake. Nice ealking trail theough some nature. We were also lucky enough to see a momma moose and her two little ones. Do not approach them. Even the little ones are the size of a 1967 VW Beetle. Dogs have to be on leashes here. We saw a couple folks not following this and one of the dogs spooked the moose. Not a good place to be in.

dromomaniagram

One place that you should not miss in Anchorage. Walk or ride a bike. You will have the chance to see the wildlife up close. Also, nice view of Anchorage. @dromomaniagram

Candace Mosteller

Great park! We went during the winter but the trail was still well managed and easily walkable. Beautiful setting close to nature.

Josh Beram

Great park along the shore between the downtown and Airport: on Clear day can see denial on a clear day: This 134-acre park is set in the woods where, in 1964, an entire neighborhood slid into the ocean during last century's most powerful earthquake. The earthquake was measured at a 9.2 on the Richter scale and lasted 4 minutes. Today, this tragic event is commemorated in Anchorage’s Earthquake Park, where you’ll find signs explaining the circumstances of the quake and its effect on the area.

Holly Mitchell

Pretty park. Good information about the earthquake. Nice walking paths. Didn't see any wildlife.

Yuan Li

Why would earthquake be a park? That's the question I had before coming to this place, then I learned that Anchorage went through a devastating 9.2 magnitude earthquake in 1964, along with terrible tsunami. This piece of history is mentioned in almost every tour and museum you go to, it's the biggest earthquake in North America in history, you'll get to see how earth's surface changed in this place as they preserved the grounds as is.

Suyash Agrawal

A small and neat park. Saw 2 moose here at around 7:30pm in September

Shaun

Great view, especially on a clear day. Not a very big park, mainly a viewing spot.

Mike Magnant

I wish my visit was a sunny day and a bit warmer. There are a number of interesting plaques about the earthquake. Apparently on a bike trail. The walk to the overlook from the parking lot is short, there is a 45 min trail. Oh and the frames of the plaques cover some information.

Richard Peters

Lots of signs to learn about the earthquake that changed this area forever, and all the nature and animals, very informative and cool views. This is a ton of nice biking and walking trails great to see and learn so much.

Barry Knight

Took the trolley tour. Learned a great deal about the 64 quake.

Pranjali Sharma

Small but beautiful. Snow covered trails when we went there. Beautiful view of the water, albeit, with trees. Saw some moose just minding their own business in the park. It is a good spot to come and sit or just get a feel of winter. Was a great start to our Alaska vacation.

Smitha Kruttschnitt

It's a cool little hangout spot with a nice view but beware of mosquitoes, there's lots of them most days. There's a couple picnic tables and a little bit about the 1964 earthquake history. A view of the sunsets is beautiful.

Ms. M

Nice park with a informative trail with cool spots to stop at. Breathtaking, make sure to stop and read the information pieces if your a tourist they are really cool. I really enjoyed walking along this trail.

Becca Hill

What a beautiful paved path park! Paved pathways go throughout but off path trails are also throughout the park. It's neat to read the informational sign posts about the earthquake of '64. We we're hoping there would be a grassy open area to picnic but the most we found were benches, which had a fantastic view. Also, make sure you use a bathroom before you go! No toilets or port a potties that we saw.

Robin Childs

Amazing Fall Colors! The Mosquitoes were absent yesterday and so were the people. Go down the hill till you see the Earthquake park trail signs, (take the pavement to the right as you look at the ocean and then look to your right for earthquake park woodland trails) get off the pavement and away from the crowds, walk, run, bike. This is a excellent place to explore and read about the effects of earthquakes, a history lesson in nature.

Azalia Isenhart

It is an awesome place to go too. I definitely plan on coming back to walk/jog the trails. It awesome!

Cathy Sheridan

Really great information about the 1964 earthquake! A well-kept paved walking trail skirts along the edges of the quake zone where a community disappeared

Penny Mondhink (2Kauaifans)

We went to earthquake park during extended trolley tour. Shocking to see post earthquake elevation change. You can hike or bike ride, beautiful area. Bring your bug spray for mosquitoes.

Bre Morgan

This is a beautiful place to read about the good Friday earthquake. There's a paved pathway so you could walk or ride a bike. We did see a moose with her 2 caves so be aware or your surroundings.

Dzmitry Mik

It is a calm and peaceful place for a family walk or a bicycle ride. Thematic illustrations about earthquake of March 27 1957 - 9.2 magnitude. Recommend!

Lindsey

This was one of our stops on our trolley ride and it was so cool to see the ripples in the ground from the 1964 earthquake! It’s hard to see them in pictures but they’re so cool in person!

Cynthia Innerst-Axe

Great place to learn about the historic earthquake in 1964. Great information and visual education. Lovely walking trail all the way to downtown Anchorage with views and friendly locals.

Sandra Hashida

Easy paved and not walking trails. Great for families, bikes and skateboards. Peaceful with views of Knik Arm. Only that would make it better would be restrooms.

Mishty Binte

My second time here. I love this place. BUT, please be careful with valuables in your car. The car next to us was broken into and stuffs were missing from the car. Please place your purse or other valuables in the trunk of take it with you.

Robert Miller

Being here in February, everything is covered with snow. There's several information signs about the area. It probably looks very different in the summer. It is well visited by skiers, cyclists, and visitors.

Justina Starobin

Aptly named area to fully appreciate the devastation of the 1964 earthquake. The view over Cook Inlet is nice, and on a clear day, Mount Denali is visible, although we had no such luck. I do not recommend going down the steep social path to the grassy mudflats. There is no better vantage point down there and its steep - both ways

Leah Jean

Small parking lot gives you access to a short walking trail to an inlet overlook area with informational signs about the 1964 earthquake. The signs are old, and I think some of the information would be written differently nowadays, but it's still interesting.

Raja Zakeeyah

Really cool trials to walk here. I caught a few pics of some mushrooms 🍄 and berries that were cool too. Follow the trials and learn about the quake! …

Laurie Rogers

Very interesting park and lots of history there. Fun trails lead you into the woods with little ponds and bridges.

Emily Starobin

Such a cool little gem. Come here to learn all about the whopping 1964 earthquake and consequent tsunami that hit southeast Alaska. Really informative placques and expansive views of Cook Inlet. Definitely recommend for a quick pit stop for info & a snippet of beautiful Alaskan wilderness and views.

M L

I wish there was more walking trails but the signage was good. There are quite a few signs on different aspects of the earthquake like the impact on buildings and nature.

Kevin O'Neal

This is a nice small park with a scenic overlook at the end of the trail. You can alsonlearn some history by taking time to read the illustrational signs posted strategically on the trail. At the end is a monument covering the Earthquake that occurred many decades ago and information about the destruction it caused and precautions to take should it happen again.

Aspen Knight

This is a small park but with a trail system that is linked to other parks that heads toward downtown. I love jogging here and learning about the devastating 1964 earthquake that disrupted the land. The "solid" land looks like water waves. Wow, the power of Mama Nature!!

Serenity Scofield

cool historical place to check out. great views and very clean.

Adam Powell

Plenty of snow on the ground when there. Great views and plenty of historical facts to read and ponder. I like how the park is laid out and the connecting trails. You can see a nice view of water and surrounding mountains. Take some time and explore the area.

Bamboo Lin

This is pretty nice. with the costal trail running through it --a very nice trail for running/biking. The pavement makes it easier and it's not too crowed (during the week). You must pay attention to the bikers though if you are running/walking dogs. Also be aware of moose!!! I "ran into" a mommy moose and a calf yesterday pm while running. I decided to turn around and not to disturb them. Guess I am in Alaska -- what do I expect ;-).

Jensen Jones

If you love getting outside and your in Anchorage you gotta go.

Kevin

Loved it here, for peak of tourist season it was quiet, and it was nice to take in scenery in a self guided sort of way

Karthik Suryanarayanan

Loved the park. Took a walk along the trail to reach the point where the land seems to have shifted during the earthquake.

Steve Nguyen

A must visit for geology geeks! The story about how one of the most powerful earthquakes did not killl many people is fascinating

Thunder Lizard (ratdude6)

Nice little walk through the woods, wouldn't say it's a good place to take a bike or young kids.

John DuBois

Texas is a tiny little state. Everything, I mean everything, is bigger and better in Alaska including our natural disasters. If you want to see something dinky like a tornado go to Texas. If you want to see the real thing come to Alaska and find out about the largest earthquake to ever hit the United States.

Autumn sunset at Earthquake Park

jess F

Lovely park with nicely paved trails has lots of good places to see nature. Good place to walk or run. Has garbage cans however there is no bathrooms here.

Pam g

Beautiful view of the ocean while walking or biking on a paved path.

Kuntal Sengupta

Nice park to have some quiet time

Jacob Cole

Beautiful park that connects to the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail. Educational plaques describe the 1969 Good Friday Earthquake and it's consequences.

JP Pendleton

A great place for peaceful recreation year-round. Been coming here for over 40 years and it's been great to see and experience its development and improvement over the years. An anchor of the original coastal trail.

Carmella McSpadden

I never knew an earthquake could cause permanent waves in the Earth's surface. Take the red trolley tour-they give you so much information about this place.

Cara H.

Great place to run in the Spring or cross country ski in the winter. Paths are wide enough for sharing with bikes. You can explore the frozen ocean in the winter.

Cherish Jordan

Love earthquake park. While we were out walking, someone's car was broken into. There was shattered glass in the parking lot.

Peter

Paved walk from the parking lot out towards the shoreline. Lots of info on boards. Much history to be learned here. *Edit they keep it plowed during the winter and it's really pretty.

Dan Pfirman

A lot of nice shaded trails to walk, and an area where you can learn a lot about the 1964 earthquake. Plenty of parking, and of course like everywhere in Alaska, bring your bug spray!

Jenny Zhang

Earthquake Park gives visitors insight into one of the pivotal moments in Alaska history: the 1964 Earthquake.

Sheila McDonald

Beautiful, very interesting, abd we saw a bull, cow, and baby moose here. We were told the area is a favorite moose hangout.

Maggie Yiran Wang

Beautiful park with biking trails and good earthquake history info. We saw a big moose by the trail.

Cliff N.

Great place for a walk and to take in the sunset as well as watch the planes come in for landing.

Alex

We saw a moose! Once you hit the Slump Totem (and odd name, indeed), head East. If you head West you'll just get some overgrowth above the water. East is the way to go.

The Adventurers

Calm and peaceful, short trail to the panoramic view. Very impressive.

Trista Stinger

The ground waves are unbelievable. We didn't have alot of time but would love to explore more there

Matthew Allen

neat park. you can see the fault line here from ghe big earthquake that hit alaska in the 60's.

Jim L

Really interesting park that shows the effects of the earthquake, and the information panels help explain the ground patterns and shapes.

Paul Marshalek

Great history of the great earthquake and awesome paved trails for walking, running or biking.

Natalie Breyer

Enjoyed the short stroll from parking to overlook area while reading the signs about the historical earthquake. Best part at the end we could see Denali in the distance since it was a clear day. Dog friendly and paved trails too!

Eva Mihaly

Great, easy, relaxing walk.

Troy Maddaford

Very interesting historical place. Such beauty coming from such a tragedy

Margarita Z

The interesting park to thinking about the earthquake! And view point on the Anchorage. Some information from the history. It is the place which combine the history and the nature, sports activity and scientific facts.

Marlon Edwards

The park itself was pretty simple, not much for exhibits of the earthquake. The view of the bay is good. Remember to walk with bug spray because the mosquitos were horrible and I couldn't find a restroom. When I was leaving I saw a family of moose crossing the street. That made it worth the trip.

Jesse Rinard

Nice history walk. Reasonably maintained considering that it's a bit out of the way and would easily be subject to vandalism.

Katy Marie

Quite beautiful along the walking trails and into the forests. It's like a beautiful adventure! Pretty sure a pup would love this!! :)

Brandon “Ak lumberjack”

Not a bad ares if you can avoid the bums and their feces

Melanie Wesolowski

Beautiful place for a nature walk, even on a rainy day.

Jon Paul

It's a park with a gorgeous view. Take some time and go for a hike. Just make sure you have the proper foot wear there's a lot of slick clay that makes for a slippery time.

Zb Kornecki

Oh cute little park along the coastal trail and Anchorage. Informative about the earthquake on Good Friday of 1964. The views were beautiful too. Definitely nice stop while you're biking

Wenny G

Winter wonder quake! Was a good day for a walk with my daughter. Took our time enjoyed the sight as we walked along the trail.

Given Flaviano

cool park but has some weird peeps

Westly Arnett

quiet and clean, nice spot for a walk or to relax on a lunch break

Lexi Rascon

Beautiful ride. So relaxing. Also a long trail

Debbie Hanning

We love walking the trail and enjoying the views

Scott Neurauter

Stopped hear while biking the coastal trail, a pretty informative site as to what happened when the earthquake struck.

Loren Hovis

Except for air traffic one can feel away from population trees have grown over to where one can move longer see ocean from parking area. The bike trail is easy access. Nice area to stroll in summer just don't go without skeeter dope. And be prepared to maybe meet a moose or two. If you see mother and baby NEVER try to get in between them mommies can weigh in at 1000 lbs. She will definitely defend her child!!!

Johannes

Amazing view in the winter, the snow and the sun makes it a magical place!

Dana Hummel

Great little Park dedicated to the 100 homes completely lost to the 1964 earthquake. Some story plaques to review.

Mathew Goeldner

We went here for a walk on a Sunday morning with our kids. There are some nice views of the Inlet & info boards on the EARTHQUAKE in 1964. Freaked us out that night when there was an actual quake that night. Bed was shaking & not in a good way. Mind the bicyclists & keep to the right.

Mark Stodola

Very nice, tranquil setting. Miles of walking/biking paths, mostly paved. Placards describe the events triggered by the massive 1964 earthquake. Great history lesson.

Danielle LeCronier

The view is obstructed in summer because of the greenery. Signs and information has graffiti

Rohun Rajaram

Earthquake park was highly underwhelming and a bit too hyped up for what it really is. The walk to the observation area is very short which is great, but the view of the ocean is entirely shrouded by trees and is a missed opportunity for an amazing view. The park has many options for hikers of varying skill levels, but nothing for moderately practiced folks, it caters to the two extremes. There are no public restrooms or nearby establishments in which to use the restroom, and because of this alone I would say that it's not great to bring kids here. There is no play structure which is another reason, but there are alot of benches at the observation area and a picnic area which is a picturesque lunch spot.

Stephan D. Red Bird

Great easy hike for my old four legged buddy

Mat Pyles

Great place to go for walj and see wildlife

Shawn Tu

I bring my dog here often, great opportunities to hike varying lengths and across some hills. Not a hard walk with a lot of greenery. Fun in the summer and winter. Bring bug dope in the summer. I've seen only moose here, most of the avid outdoorsy people wear bear bells and bring bear spray.

Syd

Beautiful place to take photos of a winter wonderland!

Trish L

Nice park, great place for a walk on paved paths. They did a great job with the information boards, explaining the earthquake The view at the water is beautiful!

Scott Esplin

Nice place to take a long walk with plenty of shade and good views of the water. There are some steep drop-offs not too far from the trail, so it would be smart to keep an eye on adventurous small children. There are a few nice spots to get down to the beach, but sadly there's a fair amount of graffiti to spoil the view a little bit. There's also a little hill at the end of the runway where you can stop and watch jets go over your head only a couple of hundred feet above.

Alexis Mix

Love this spot on the coastal trail. Decent sized parking lot and access to both paved and unpaved trails. Good place to see moose at dusk. Evidence of historic earthquake is easy to see. On a clear day, there is good views of mountains (including Denali) and Anchorage. At low tide you can walk along the beach. Just be careful around the mud flats, they are dangerous.

Kent English

Interesting displays on the history of the earthquake. Not really much else to see but where the land drops off. I've been told that things occasionally pop up from the ground where the neighborhoods were swallowed up.

C E

A really nice walk here with friends, even in the dead of winter. There is a large system of trails to take advantage of. There is interesting signage around describing the previous landscape before the quakes jumbled the area up. The park connects to the coastal trail so is accessible in multiple ways; such as by car, bike, or hike. We also have seen moose on several occasions in the general area of this park. Not too challenging of a stroll.

Kay Guelfi

Beautiful wooded trails, history synopses, occasional views of the ocean.

Otis Willow

Great view of downtown and sunsets from this place!

Annabelle S

Really good to bike around or take a walk. If you're walking bring bug spray because there are a lot of little puddles that mosquitoes lay eggs in.

Christy Honaker

Nice walk and the information boards were neat to read. Saw a bunny.

Jason P

There is a trail off the pathway that is supposed to lay out some of the history of the park. We tried to follow it, but unfortunately some of the signage was missing and the trail has been overused by bikes, making it easy to lose the path in the mosquito-filled stinky big.

Nephrym

Totally beautiful area to walk. It is in the woods and might be buggy depending on the time of year so make sure to bring some bug spray just in case. Just about a quarter mile down the trail is a great view of downtown Anchorage.

John King

One of the best vantage points for pictures. If you enjoy watching planes, boats or birds. Just keep control of your children as it has a very steep cliff and getting back up is another story.

Dan A

Bring some shoes that are comfortable to walk in, and don't be afraid to go off the trails. There are several signs on the trails to give some local history information. If you walk down to the beach, be careful, Alaska beaches are not friendly... There are several miles of trails to enjoy, and several places to take scenic pictures. Dress appropriately, you are near the ocean in Alaska, you've been warned.

Mark Featherston

Informative & scenic. Bring repellent for large. Aggressive mosquitoes!

Sherry Piraino

Awesome place for walking trails

Franny Yeates

This park was recommended by an Alaskan local. She said the view from along the path looked across the water at downtown Anchorage. It didn't disappoint! I was there when the waters were calm, and the city with the mountains behind it reflected in the water. There is a first parking lot at the beginning of the path. If you want to go on a walk, stop there. If you came for the view, pull into the next entrance. We were on a local tour with PicTours Alaska. Bob, the guide, gave lots of historical information along the way about Anchorage. He did a great job!

Dais

Beautiful here, you have the option the walk, run, bike. Very popular during the summer and you can see some beautiful sunsets from here. You'll get a nice view of downtown Anchorage, and its also a popular photography spoy

Dale Stoltzfus

Very nice surroundings. Nice picnic area. Nice view of the bay with float planes flying over. Excellent placards giving good history of the earthquake and what happened. Everything was very well done.

Adena Gwirtz

The ground is all messed up still! Perfect place for mountain biking. Lots of wildlife and marsh

Pauline Clark

Nice and quiet. It was a good walk

Salmon Ella

A favorite walking spot that reminds you that Mother Nature is in charge. Can be pretty blustery & chilly due to being near the bluffs. In the summertime the clouds mosquitoes are terrifying because of all the standing water pools (mini-bogs) from the quake. Bring bug spray! Even the wind won’t save you. Winter is my favorite time here. Very likely to see some moose here.

Charley Paul

Good park for hiking. Make sure you know what trail you're on, because I mindlessly wandered onto a separate trail which went from the park to Anchorage. Obviously a fault of my own, but there wasn't any signage for this until 1 mile up the trail. Whoops!

Robert Exley

A nice park, the sort of which Anchorage is known for. Plenty of hiking trails and views. Of course many interpretational signs and visual aids to explain the good Friday quake. Not the most beautiful park in Anchorage but certainly worth the visit. Nearly any time I have guests in Anchorage we visit.

Jack Stallings

Enjoyed the sights and adventure there . Almost got run over by a moose scurrying by . Big male ... Do not want to be in his way . The history of this place is very interesting . Make certain you read or see the history of Earthquake Park .

Marty and Jeannine Gossett

Great Place to see wildlife and take a walk

Kelley Soper

Easy park to access from town. There are nice trails to take a walk, walk your dog, cross-country ski or ride your bike.

Mr Bacon

Beautiful park with tons of information!

Bill S

Learn the story of the 1964 earthquake from the signage and remember the loss of the homes that slide off the shelf into the bay. Nice walking trails along the edge and if you are adventurous step off the edge.

Jennifer Frysz

I always love me some earthquake park! It was beautiful and clean. We saw an Otter! Enjoy the scenery!

Evan Pouliot

It was like a history lesson learning how the earthquake affected the area of anchorage and some other towns, learning the effects of the earthquake on wildlife and how people will prepare for the future of building buildings for the future. it was also a beautiful park definitely a must see

John Wazlawik

A bit of history surrounding one of the largest quakes ever recorded and how it changed the area so dramatically.

Tessa Dennis

Beautiful trails to walk with lots of educational signs.

Kelsey Hodnefield

This park is a classic. Its located along the Tony Knowles Coastal trail, surrounded by trees and only a few feet away from breath taking views of cook inlet, taking multiple photos will be hard to resist. If you're visiting Anchorage this is a must see historical landmark.

Larry Petty

Excellent place to see if you're a tourist. A view of the damage the 1964 earthquake did to this part of town, near the cook inlet. Also you can view the airport, landings and departures of aircraft on the runway.

Tallblackchick 1984

Best hike down and up. Perfect views. Plus I found a perfect spot to lay out my quilt.

Darrell Brower

Nice walk on trails that tie into the coastal trail park system. You can take in the info on the effects of the Great Earthquake of 1964 and how it changed the landscape of Anchorage and south central Alaska.

Christopher Trageser

Nice place to enjoy a walk, but don't go on the beach in this area, evidently people get stuck in the sandy mud and can't get out by themselves; the tide then comes in very quickly and it's a race against time to survive. You can often see sea life there, surfers, and even some orca.

Damaris Rose

Very interesting, but needs more interpretation panels. There were no panels with photos of the neighbourhood housing and streets that were lost in the quake, for example.

Jim Avery

Miles of trails, trees and mud flats. Best explored on a bicycle. Mid August is bug free. It's not a myth, the tide exceeds 20 feet, walking in the mud flats can be fatal.

Jeano Franklin

Great place for walking and biking

Emily Neely

This is such a beautiful place to visit. I come here every chance I get!

Daniel Briem

Informative signs, a few short trails, park also connects to the coastal trail. Very cool park giving great information about the good Friday earthquake, the results from it, and science behind it.

Ashley Bellant

Nice walking trail. On very clear days you have a chance of seeing Denali! Have seen bear and moose here. Bring bug spray, lots of mosquitoes.

Daniel Bellerive

Earthquake Park has lovely walking and biking trails conveniently situated in West Anchorage. The park is populated enough to not feel like you're out in the sticks, but not so crowded that you can't enjoy the scenery.

Antoine Sims

Trails are nice good views of the bay. Like the signs telling the history of the park and wildlife.

Kris McIntyre

Good heavens, the mosquitos! There were huge swarms of them, so many that we turned back before we got too far into the park. What we did see was beautiful, so maybe with some industrial bug repellant it would be nice to try again.

Stephen Blankenship

Well-maintained with attractive monuments and loads of rest areas, Anchorage bike trails are among the best in the world.

Jared Keeling

There are a few interpretative signs with interesting info, but that's about it. You can imagine where the bluffs once were and see they are gone. Otherwise, it is a maintained path through a deciduous park.

J. Gomez

Very beautiful coastal ride, and there is a beautiful rock monument with information about the earthquake and tsunami.

Taylor Baker

A nice walk, but BRING BUG SPRAY. The mosquitos here are insane and will attack you the second you step into the park. I got bit over 30 times... one bite ended up being on my eyelid and I had a swollen eye the rest of my Alaskan trip... UGH

Faye Tauiliili

Beautiful view very calming place.

Sarah Higbee

Great place to walk and learn. There could be wild life around too.

Alex Arnold

It's a nice place to wait in the parking lot before a flight home.

István Kroh

A little park explaining what happened during the big earthquake and you can also see how the earth moved. Not by some photos but looking at the actual landscape after the earthquake. Just cool.

KK6WGO Rollins

Good trails, you can see and walk down to soil that liquified and dropped about 15 feet during 1964 earthquake

Arsalan Atta

Cool park to spend some time before your flight. Can also see some sweet planes landing.

John Bump

Lots of informational plaques and a neat walk through a huge earth slump from the quake but the mosquitoes were unendurable at the time we went.

Curt Loosli

Nice walking paths and ties in with the Tony Knowles Coastal Path. Scenic hike or bike ride. One path tells the history of the major earthquake and slide that happened there.

Crystal Firestone

Interesting park, not what I expected. Used to be a residential area that was largely destroyed by a severe earthquake. The layout of the park gives you an idea of what real damage that earthquake did. Lots of parking.

Dustin Carpenter

Informative signage and a fantastic view of the Anchorage skyline

Anthony Eschardies

Awesome walk. Beware, the mosquitos are intense.

Penny Sanden

Great view of the inlet!. Bike path is clear and packed down for easy hiking.

Mr Edge

A pleasant walk from the parking area. And, good information about the 1964 Earthquake, the park is named after.

Marnie AK

Great place to see firsthand what the effects of the 1964 Good Friday earthquake are. Over 50 years since it happened, yet the dead trees from the salt water coming in from the tsunami.

Sarah Steele

A great place to bike or walk. Connects to the Tony Knowles and beautiful views of the ocean.

Rick Benken

This is a not to be missed stop in Anchorage. Only need an hour to do it justice but shouldn't be over looked.

Malachy Moran

The coast trail is pretty and this is a good place to get on it. Bring your bug spray though, and expect bikers as it is a multi-use trail

Rayee Roded

I really recommend renting a bike from the north part of town to this place. Very nice trail and nice views. The earthquake park itself is nice and interesting too.

[email protected] Whitman

Nice trails. Woud have loved to ride a bike on the trails. Beautiful,take time to see it, hike it, or bike it.

sophia jerez

Not sure how safe it is , there were bullet holes on the signs but the walk was lovely during winter, there were other runners ,but not crowded and the view of Anchorage was lovely.

bruce prehn

It is a great place to bring friends and Taurus lots of information about the earthquake in 1964 on Good Friday

Edie LaBelle

Very nice walk through history. Mostly flat, paved trail. Fine for walks, runs, bikes, strollers. Mostly shady.

Sergio Castro

Nice place to see the changes the earthquake had on Anchorage

KC Baker

I love the great trails and the connectivity to the Coastal Trail. The interpretive signs help to guide you in understanding the '64 quake.

Judi Coleman

Great day for a walk. Nice paths.

Mandy Ng

It's quiet here when we visited last week. Nice for a walk and learn about the history of this park. We stopped here for about 15 minutes.

Danny Ponit

Interesting to read about the quake but the walk itself is just through some swampy woods (sure the land wasn't there before the quake) wear bug spray.
