Resolution Park was the last place that Captain Cook visited before turning south to sail for warmer waters. He must not have cared much for the giant mud flats that surround Anchorage. The locals liked him enough to erect this statue to his likeness and put up a nice historical marker. The park itself is small, the steps from the statue platform down towards the water was impassable in the winter snow. Like Captain Cook, Ive since left, headed toward Hawaii.
A simple view point with gorgeous views and plenty of seating
I like this platform park. Its on a serious slope but the designers reinforced it with steel and sturdy wood to hold up Captain Cook statue and any visitors. The wooden platform turns a circular path for all people, including the elderly and the people confined to wheelchair mobility to access. The sunset is gorgeous over the Knik Arm and the mudflat from this perspective. A few hundred feet away are eateries and pubs. I recommend a visit.
Very pretty park, I love going here
Nice view of the beach when the weather is clear. Nice quiet part of the city where you can almost avoid some of the tourist traps. Good walking distance.
Nice park great bike and running trail
The view here is amazing at sun set, but its also down town so try not to be alone after watching that beautiful hour long sunset. Perfect for groups, plenty of seating. I personally sit in the railing.
Good views of Cook Inlet, and I image up towards Denali when its clear (gray and wet when I was there). Lookout structure itself is pretty impressive (you can see everything looking down), but its showing its age and probably needs some love. No sitting area either.
Great view of the water this lookout point gives you a feel of being in the wild. Makes a great photo stop also
This is a small park but the main beauty here are the views of Sleeping Lady mountain, the water, and the port of Anchorage where ships dock. There is also the Captain Cook monument here to pay your respects to. If you are an artist or a photographer, then definitely come here. It is also located in downtown Anchorage so if you are downtown, then its just a walk from there.
Great place to walk to for piece of mind. And the views
Great bike & walking access point for the Coastal Trail. Latrine needs to be improved.
Beautiful views, litter free. I had a great experience at Resolution Park on my short visit. Even the homeless were very friendly and appreciative of the views this park has to offer.
Pretty flowers and the views are amazing on a clear day.
I love it in the summer. Well cared garden, beautiful memorial
It’s a quick stop for some pictures.
Always a popular tourist spot in summer or winter. Fabulous vista overlooking the Cook Inlet. A must see!
The view is beautiful. Denali and Foraker were out and you could see them, but it was indistinct because it was a little hazy. There are several different sections to go have a picnic but there were no tables. Not sure if they were just removed for the winter or not. The viewing telescopes were also missing. The wood is getting weather worn and starting to look like it is falling apart. It would be a good project to strip and re-finish the whole thing.
Great views during summer nights
Complete awesomeness just dont hang out there
Optional digital sheet 4 informal 2 veiw as is....
Beautiful views of Cook Inlet and Denali.
Run down need make over but good
Great place to have a picnic down town.
Awesome area
Statue of Captain Cook overlooking across the Turnagain Arm towards Wasilla.
Making the point about Captain James Cook and his extensive journeys in the Pacific Ocean.
Fun and quiet place on the edge of town!
Great view of the Bay
Nice view. Flowers are nice in the summer. The deck is a bit rundown.
Captain Cook was one of the greatest mariners of all time and its very cool to stand at his moments in Anchorage, Victoria, Australia and New Zealand
Another beautiful park
We came here because we wanted to see Captain Cooks Monument. We heard there is another monument in Hawaii? Later we found out, Captain Cook started his 3rd voyage in Alaska and he passed away in Hawaii.The park & monument is surrounding by office buildings. Walking distance from downtown area.If the weather is nice & clear, it would be a great place to see the ocean & mountain view. There are a few levels of the wooden deck. But only 3 benches for seating.
Great food good atmosphere
Nice park memorializing Captain Cook and his voyage to Alaska.
Tranquil, good spot to chill
Nice park overlooking Cook Inlet.

A nice place to see the sun set
Very unique multilevel series of decks allow for beautiful views and photo opportunities.

Not safe for children a nice spot being ruined by time &
If you are down town, take the walk for great views.
A view to remember.
Beautiful area and scenery!

Great views and well-constructed boardwalks.Wish it was more obvious about how to navigate the place, and that it connected to the shore side path.
