Love this place. Wide range of woods and greens. Trails and secret places you can make lol

This park is awesome! I love the trails and how it was already marked as a poké stop. I ran into a moose at the stream crossing at the bottom of the hill. I got a video of it. The park has a great energy and its vibrancy shows it.

2nd time here its a fun place! Of course its a park

Trash all over. I personally picked up trash....too bad people wont use trash cans.

Russian Jack Springs Park is home to many attractions including softball! The Cartee Fields have a total of 6 softball fields; 1-4 are located around the green Cartee Complex and 5-6 are located south near Debarr Road. No dogs are allowed at the softball fields. Parking can be found all over the area, but dont park in front of the portable toilets!If this review was helpful please click the Like button.

We call it polar bear park,we love it.You can walk your dog, your kids and yoursef,or sit watch the skateboarders, the softball players, but if you want peace and quiet it is not the place to go.

Fun because skate park right by it

Its very easy to ride your bike, or walk through the park. They have a small golf course. The golf course is very easy. But also very fun. During the winter I take my kids to go sledding. You can also go cross-country skiing. But all in all fun park.

A truley Alaskan little 9 hole golf course.A friend and I got chased by a moose who didnt like us playing through on hole 5. Black bear are also often spotted on the fairways or along the treelines of this course. When I played today I was told a black bear cub was spotted earlier on the course. Bear are not a problem though, they avoid contact and keep thier distance if they know your around. Moose on the other hand...usually not a problem (I thought till we got chased) but if in rut and a cow is close, bulls will attack. Or if they feel threatened. Moose seem to not have any fear of humans and can be very dangerous.If you encounter one keep a good distance, they will usually give warning if getting too close. If they turn and face you, or look your way and lower thier ears, your about to get charged!Nice place to practice. Many of the holes are quite narrow with woods on each side, accuracy required. My only dislike is that the greens are artificial and very fast, hard to keep a ball on them from any distance.Hope to see you there!

Love to go cross country skiing and they have an awesome hill for sledding.

One of our favorite parks to visit year round! The disk golf is fun and challenging. There is plenty of green space and covered areas for parties.

Good play area and skate park.

Nice hot but kill switch pipes sticking out the ground odd when no plumbing and porta potties

Black top paved trails. Trash cans in certain places along the trail. Very Quite, Very clean.

Great place to meet up with friends and family

Excellent park. Has some hidden gems. Did you know theres a green house you can visit from 9 to 3 each day? Its by the golf course. Go check it out.

Was pretty, and had lots of plants, staff actively avoided us, so that was nice.

Bring a weapon to protect yourself . Bums are like zombies in there!

Like most Parks in Anchorage, Russian Jack is a great place to go for a walk or engage in other activities/sports.

Tranquil place to walk or hike. There are recent bear sightings so be aware.

Its polar bear park

Adore this place. I always have fun with Z here too

The children love Polar Bear Park playground and adults love the trails where many walk their dogs and most clean up after them. Biggest downside is lack of bathrooms and only two nasty portapotties.

Little par 3 golf course and bike trails. Pretty cool little park.

Recently rennovated, complete with an exceptional playground, seating area, skatepark, and sports facilities. Home to Alaskas premiere public skateboard bowl.

Itz a beautiful area of wilderness 2 see here in town...

I like the remodeling of the playground and also the addition of the skate park. I also got to see a male moose with a killer rack on his head!

Took my grandkids sledding and was great to see the joy in thier eyes. Lots of fun. Will do it again soon.

A beautiful peaceful place to just relax & unwind.

Very good park for the kids small and roughly new

I love this park be at the trails or the Golf Course, also the greenhouse is a year-round attraction. Go there in the afternoon sit down eat your lunch and hang out with tropical plants.

Well groomed grounds and daily activities during the summer. Plenty of parking and connected to the Anchorage trail system. Porta potty access at both entrances. Three separate areas devoted to play structures for children. Six baseball fields. Two soccer fields. Finally, a club house.

I went to Jack Russian for the skate park... while I didnt expect Anchorage to have a huge skating community.. it was tough dealing with kids with little etiquette.. hanging legs in the bowl and sliding in and running all around... then Lort! that ice cream man showed up and they went wild.. so I left.. amazing park overall though! Id love to have a bike for the trails when I return :)

Day time is good but night time is bug village

I took the Kids to play at the park clean And they had fun nice Sunny day

Great Anchorage playground/park. Definitely 5 stars if they had the rubber mulch (i know its flammable) and artificial grass.

Nice, clean kid friendly hang out or picnic area... With skate park and bike riding. Hope You All Enjoy!

This is a wonderful park, plenty of trails, shade, open areas. Typically not crowded at all. Ski, sled, bike and some golf even.

Really nice park, spacious & lots to do. Pretty clean & had covered eating area.

Its a fun playground for children.

It was nice and quiet

Didnt really have time to stop and look around. Maybe in the summer time.

Nice bike trails and good scenery

Great trails to get out doors. Just watch out for the dog poop!!!

Feels like going out camping out of town, but then youll find people who stays there and they sure are friendly people.

Nice place to explore with a skate park. Great place for kids to play.

Decent park but the lighting levels much to be desired, Id like to say its a top notch park bit the lighting is just to little and not where its needed after all we do have a winter kids do sled here and the parents have work so most of the fun happens in the dark...

Peaceful. Multiple Creek crossings at slow moving water throughout the trails

Nice

Great park.... plenty of trials.

Great place for XC skiing. Groomed trails ideal for beginners, couple of down hills to play on and a chalet where you can warm up

Nice place to take dogs on a walk. The trails have led light s

Took my grandson to Russian Jack and he enjoyed the playground area it was clean and I had a place to sit that was close by and other parents and Grandparents were there with their children or grandchildren no disruptions of any kind the kids all had fun the nearby skateboard area was full of kids of all ages they were all using their skateboards or helping each other with problems it was just a really awesome afternoon and my grandson and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I started from the Boniface and Debarr entrance, and this park is amazing from the start. You wont want to miss anything from this trail, bring your camera.

Nice park, great play places and mostly clean. Unfortunatly its not in the best part of town so a lot of undersireables frequent the area. Though from what I noticed they keep to them selves away from the kids

Quaint little city park with a lot of open space. Great place for all ages.

Love this park! Good sized park with equipment for small to big kids! Also had a skate park for the bigger kids and a softball feild, so you can catch a game!

I liked it but have had too many people earn me about crime there which makes me worry about walking there alone

Awesome park for all ages! Cool kids play area and new skate park to the side...3 Porta-potty in the park and decent too -clean.Large green areas for all worth of games and gatherings... Its by far one of the too 3parks in ANCH!

Nice place to walk your dogs through trails. Theres also a field where you can throw balls for them

A Beautiful Park, nicely maintained.

Go to the garden greenhouses look inside its free beautiful place

Good fishing for trouts

Awesome

Gorgeous scenery, and wide paths. The waters are beautiful, and the people we passed were all very friendly. So glad to live close by!

Beautiful sunset glowing on sparkling snow, a nice break from the city.

Great recreational park. Definitely come here if you are looking to have some fun!

Spacious baseball fields and a playground and skate park for all ages.

Great park

You can really see it from your porch

Perfect day for softball.

The Northern Lights Model Railroad Club meets here at 6pm on the first Friday of the month in the caretakers cottage. At 7, we start our monthly open house.

This park is magical! There are geo caches all over the forrest that surrounds the golf courses.This park has a whole network of single track trails for mountain biking or running. Best of all, you can even go explore to find the source of the natural spring that runs year round!

A good place to sit down an eat pizza

Skatepark is small but goos enough to shred n warm up. Just alot of kids n scooters..lol

Its a great place to take children sliding.

Nice winter and summer.

Large soccer and football fields. Its also connected to a bike trail.

I just love to walk through the woods

Never really too crowded

I love anchorage parks, except for the one on Minnesota, that isnt a park that is dark place were bad things happen

Very nice park

I like this park a lot very ghost glad I found it. Its clean, lots to do and great location

Great softball park...a little damp right now but it dries out fine

Good community park

Get get it hahaha

Beautiful park to enjoy family in!!!

For a park in the middle of town you cant do any better than this except for parking and places to really BBQ theyve taken out all the little pits

Two great playgrounds, trails and two baseball fields

Ispend a lot of my time there just to get away from the world.

Great sunsets and a park that kids can play

Great for church activities and sledding for the kids

Thick with snow, bad 4 walking, good 4 cross country skiing

Any green space gets five stars from me.

The chalet is a decent spot for events.

Lots of trails to hike and XC ski on. Beware of homeless camps of the trails though.

Outstanding place for kids. Lots of activity structures...

It is very peaceful.

Fun park to play pokemon

Awesome place for sledding in the winter!
