Point Woronzof Park


Point Woronzof Park is a municipal park in Anchorage, Alaska. The park is excellent for backcountry skiing or snowshoeing in the winter, and biking or running in the summer.
The park is home to flora and fauna similar to its larger neighbor, Kincaid Park Fox, lynx, and many moose are known to inhabit the park. Trees are mostly Birch, Spruce, cottonwood, and Alder. Devil's Club and Elderberry are endemic.
This park is located next to the Knik Arm of Cook Inlet, between Pt. Woronzof and Pt. Campbell. The park is bounded on the West by the ocean, the North by municipal lands associated with the Sewage Treatment Plant, the east by airport land, the south by Heritage Land Bank lands and airport lands. In addition, a Phillips gasline right-of-way crosses the park near its southern end. Point Woronzof is actually not within Point Woronzof Park, but located about 1 mile to the north.
During World War II the army constructed two small prefab houses on the northern end of Pt. Woronzof on the bluff looking over Cook Inlet. To the south of the houses there was a battery emplacement, the remains of which remained after the war ended.
Although airport noise is intermittent, the park offers residents of Anchorage semi-wilderness experiences similar to Kincaid park further to the southwest.
