Nunaka Valley Park

Your Neighborhood Escape

Located in Northeast Anchorage, Nunaka Valley Park spreads across 5.4 acres of green space that locals have come to cherish. This community favorite offers a peaceful retreat where you can stretch your legs, breathe in fresh Alaskan air, and take in those stunning mountain views that never get old, no matter how long you've lived here.

Play and Sport Options

If you've got kids in tow, the playground area caters to the 2-12 age range with enough equipment to keep little ones entertained. Fair warning: some play structures have weathered their fair share of Alaskan seasons since 1994, while others got a refresh during the 2012 renovations. It's not the fanciest playground in town, but it definitely does the job for neighborhood families.

Sports enthusiasts will feel right at home with the park's basketball court, three tennis courts, and a sand volleyball court that's meant for summer gatherings. The wide, open grassy fields invite impromptu soccer games, frisbee sessions, or just lounging with a good book on sunny days.

A Field of Champions

There's something special about the baseball diamond here - it's got history. This unassuming field has nurtured championship dreams, representing home base for award-winning youth fastpitch softball teams. In 2012, the diamond hosted games for the U14 girls fastpitch world series champions and the U10 district 1 champions. Not bad for a neighborhood park!

Close to Home

What makes Nunaka Valley Park truly work is its accessibility for nearby residents. It's the kind of place where neighborhood kids can safely bike to meet friends, and parents can walk over for a quick tennis match after work. While it might not be worth a special trip across town, those living nearby appreciate having this green space at their doorstep. The convenience factor gets an extra boost from the restaurants, grocery store, and daycare center just across the street - making it easy to combine park time with everyday errands.
