Jewel Lake Park is always nice. Surprised to see the playground was under construction. The sign said it would be complete in October.

They have 1 grill, 6 metal picnic tables under a covered roof, a set of swings, a pirate boat with awesome slide, and a zip line. There is also a sandy beach to walk on with the lake footage.The only sad issue is that you cannot swim on the water due to Swimmers Itch, a parasite that is in the water.

Jewel Lake had alot of people but not so many that you couldnt stay 6 feet apart! It was great, a little cold in the Gazebo but in the sun was so beautiful!

The lake (and associated beach/picnic shelter/playground) are a great source of fun for the whole family. However, some of the playground equipment is broken and roped off and you shouldnt rely on using the honey buckets.

Another beautiful park space in Anchorage. If you need a beach getaway this lake is the perfect place.

Its really badass to have a lake so close to home. I love being able to walk from home to the lake in the evening to help my dog unwind and get ready to go to bed. The park is really well maintained also, and it does get busy in the summer. Lifeguards on duty in the summer even. Stellar.

Nothing over the top, just your standard small park with a lake. People that swim there usually get swimmers itch.

We went on a beautiful sunny summer day. The sand was nice, the water was great. I love the new zip-line. There were at least 4 lifeguards on duty. They were attentive reminded swimmers of the rules. Bring food- youll never want to leave!!! The only downside is the limited parking. There are always people parking out on the streets in the neighborhood.

Review №27

Its impossible for the muni to keep up with all the goose poop in any water area, but the sand is typically cleaner than the grass at least. The playground itself is small with older wood&metal. Still probably the best beach available here, son loves it.

Thanks to AF&G. Ice fishing for students. Very nice job the AF&G crew were outstanding. Working so very hard to make sure all the kids were having fun. Great job. They made lifetime memories today for all of the ASD kids lucky enough to be there for the experience.We are all lucky to have this dedicated team in our state.
