Muldoon Town Square Park / Muldoon Park Strip, Chester Creek realignment – the Anchorage Municipal Assembly reconsidered their vote to proceed with realigning the creek and set a new public hearing for the February 28 Assembly meeting. This is our opportunity to be heard on this issue. More than 40 residents of East Anchorage turned out and many wrote to the Assembly asking to be heard. Thanks to all who called, wrote letters and showed up to ensure public input on this important issue.

 

Northeast Community Council and Scenic Foothills Community Council have passed multiple resolutions in favor of dedicating municipal property along Chester Creek southeast of Muldoon Road and DeBarr Road intersection for a park. The planned realignment may not be a good fit with the proposed park.

 

We are collecting documents and information and regarding Chester Creek realignment and the proposed Muldoon Town Square Park and posting the documents here.

We have posted new East Anchorage Park Report Card Web Galleries. Report cards from 2008 helped two of our parks get much needed upgrades by documenting needed fixes. Chugach Foothills Park got a major makeover in 2009 and Little Dipper Park got upgraded in July of 2011. This year we recorded those gains and looked at more parks to see what's present and what needs fixing.
