Lyn Ary Park

Lyn Ary Park is a 13.5-acre public park located in Anchorage, Alaska. Situated along the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, the park offers scenic views of Cook Inlet and access to outdoor recreational activities. The park was acquired in 1962 through purchase and donation, with part of the land dedicated for public use as parkland by Mr. Lyn Ary, a Russian immigrant who homesteaded the area after World War I.

The park features a mix of natural and developed areas, catering to various interests and age groups. It includes sports facilities such as little league baseball fields and tennis courts, as well as playground equipment for children. The park also provides access to the popular Coastal Trail, making it a convenient starting point for walks, runs, or bike rides along the coast.

Lyn Ary Park serves as a community gathering space, offering picnic areas and grills for family outings. The park's location provides visitors with opportunities to enjoy views of the inlet and, on clear days, distant mountain vistas. Over the years, the park has undergone various improvements and developments guided by community input and municipal planning processes.
