Beautiful scene. Just a short walk from downtown

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.

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.

Excellent place to go view a sunset, easy parking on Sunday dont know about other days. The flower pots were perfect to add some color.

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.

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.

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.

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.
