John's Park

Beautiful right now with all the wildflowers blooming and everything green! It has a calm, mellow feeling to it. What a great place to take a walk. There's a jungle gym for the kids and benches for the parents. Dogs on leash welcome.

One of my favorite parks in south anchorage. It sits in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. There is a large field with picnic tables, a couple of swings and a playground that is both big and little kid friendly. There is also a nice trail with a small wooden bridge that goes over furrow creek. Street parking only.

Small park, good for little kids. Nice trail loop though that leads out onto the marsh. Awesome in the winter time!

Our favorite neighborhood park. Lots of trails for children and pets!

Nice trail walk and a couple wonderful photo opportunities

It's a little out of the way park, but it's in bed of updating.

Miles of groomed and single track trails through the woods with Furrow Creek running through the middle. In 1972 the then Anchorage Borough needed property to run a sewer line through this South Anchorage neighborhood. The original homesteaders wanted the borough to purchase 50 acres to be set aside as a park. The sale was completed in 1973. They requested the property have no motorized vehicles, no buildings, no diversion of Furrow Creek and to name it after them ---Johns. They homesteaded this area in 1947 and wanted to save it for the animals that frequent it. Upon coming into the park, be aware of a neighborhood path and lots of other smaller trails that lead into this gem of a park. As always be on the lookout for bears and moose.

Love the park. Go every day

Nice quiet trail. Not difficult or too long. Good chance of seeing moose here as well.

This trail has nice scenery and is not too far from Anchorage. I definitely recommend it for beginner backpackers.
