kincaid park

Miles of trails, and views never ending. Trails for biking, walking, skiing. Connected with the coastal trail system which extends from south Anchorage to the downtown area. Moose, bears and other wildlife are commonplace.

We were recommended to visit this park to see bears. We weren't disappointed, we took a side road (dirt) which ended with a shut gate however when we turned the car around bingo, there was a mother bear and 3 cubs. We were shocked that they were so close to the car and we were glad to be inside the car. We got hooked on this park so returned the next day hoping to see more bears, however we encountered a huge Moose just grazing on the side of the main road into this park. What a find, people were jogging past and walking there dogs nearby, it seemed to be a normal event. Made my day as this was the whole reason for visiting Anchorage, I had seen a TV program with moose roaming around the streets so wanted to see if it was true. We watched this moose for ages, he wasn't going anywhere as I think the grass was rather delicious. We were perhaps very lucky but if you don't go you will never know.

The park is within walking distance of downtown Anchorage and provides some excellent views of the ocean. There are lots of walking and jogging tracks. It is an ideal place to take a picnic and enjoy the sights. There are plenty of opportunities to see moose in the park. So long as you are cautious and respect their space the moose are quite happy to go about their business while you do the touristy thing of gettjng plenty of photos.

Love this place to take a leisurely stroll, a jog/run or bike ride and skiing in winter. There are many trails, some paved, some not, benched to stop off at or dirt trails that lead down to the beach. Kincaid is also used for sports, many play volleyball and Disc golf. There is a rec center so there is a free public bathroom and vending machines if you forgot your water. Many rent out the center for weddings and receptions. It's lovely inside with a nice view.

Great bike trail and links up with other parks in Anchorage. Also, can get to the beach from the park. Have seen moose on several occasions: be aware.

The ski trails seem endless and are groomed to perfection. It's a great place to ski, run, bike, sled, or hold an event. The park is huge and offers something for everyone: the easy dog walk all the way to a day-long, challenging ski.

We visited Kincaid Park and it has beautiful views. Saw a moose but was unable to get a picture. Did see Mount McKinley and snow capped mountains. Would highly recommend a visit to the park

Absolutely no public transport can get you there. What a waste! We would have loved to hike through the park but not having a car made it completely unattainable. Anchorage - have a bus that can drop hikers off so they can enjoy this wonderful green space.

bicycled the coastal trail and ended up here. Saw moose and beautiful vistas. A great park to visit for picknicking, walking, bicycling or look for wildlife

We walked for more than 2 hrs before having to board a plane for home that evening and it was so nice and the Wenatchee was sunny and warm. Highly recommend the park and surrounding area.

The coastal trail cannot be beat. You can ride from downtown Anchorage along the coast all the way to Kincaid. I have seen large groups of whales following the beach with the tide. Much more common are the moose encounters. You have to pay attention and use common sense. But the views to Fire Island and the city are great. And getting so many bike miles in without traffic is the best. In fact, the bike trails link up all the parks and you can cross much of the town safely.

You get a post-card view of downtown Anchorage. Not the swings and slide type of park for children, but a nice place to view nature.

This park is on a former Nike Missile site. There are many well maintained biking and walking trails with beautiful vistas in some areas. We visited serval mornings and early evenings. We were lucky enough to see two bull moose and two cows. This is a lovely facility owned by the city of Anchorage, well worth a visit.

Lovely place for a wedding in their community room, we had a nice picnic on the hill overlooking the water. Watched the planes going out from the airport, lots of biking trails and a nice disc golf course. Fun for anyone! Huge park!

The park is very nice. We went there 3 times while in Anchorage and saw moose 2 out of the three times. Definitely a place to stop if you are in the area.
