Its a beautiful place to walk at night. The lit up trails, winding through all the trees with their blue or white lights, and passing by the 2 multicolored xmas trees

A great place to hold an event.The Town Square Park is host to many events throughout the year. New Years fireworks and summer concerts are the two events that seem to draw a large crowd. Summertime the Town Square Park is very colorful with numerous variations of flowers. Wintertime the Town Square Park is sparkly with LED lights in the trees.The Town Square Park can be very active, so if you want to eat in peace then you should look elsewhere.

Kinda scary, usually bleak. Only bright spot are the city flowers that get planted each year.

Lovely park in the middle of the business district. It is early August as I write this review - the flower beds are in full bloom as are the strategically placed heads of cabbage marking the corners of the beds. Just charming. This park brings a character to the surroundings! Come visit, take the load off - enjoy!!

I love that park. During summer time it has amazing flowers. You can go and hang out there. During the winter it has lots of events too.

Went to see tree lighting for Christmas but they already had it lit. I couldnt find an actual time on web site so a little disappointed we had friends from Florida up. Over all had a good time.

This is a big open space park in the middle of downtown with lots of benches to sit on. Id have lunch here if I live here. It reminds me of an open amphitheater. There are lots of beautiful flowers still blooming as of now in late September. I photographed this shot during a walk in the rain that finally came after about 2 months of absence.

Town square is a great location in the heart of downtown Anchorage. Its a quick walk to the 5th ave mall and local restaurants. About a block from the courthouse and other federal buildings. There are always events happening in town square Park ranging from charity events to races and awareness movements. In winter months it hosts ice sculpture carvings and fireworks on the new years. This is a must stop spot in you ever come to Anchorage.

Great place. Central location, close to everything. When we were there there was a fundraising for Alaskan malamute puppies. It was awesome.

Decent park. Great place to play Pokémon GO and meet up for interests. Sometimes has live music and public events, check Anchorage Downtown Partnership for schedules. Good security most of the time. Expect to be approached by homeless asking for money at least once each visit; just assertively say no cash and theyll leave you alone.

Great park in the heart of Downtown Anchorage. Tables and chairs out during the day make it great place to sit and take a rest or eat your lunch and enjoy the nice trees and flower gardens.A piano is usually out for anyone who can play it and there are daily activities sponsored by the downtown partnership.Tonight is friday night and they are showing the movie How to train your Dragon right in the park.Thursday evenings at 5pm is Live at 5 sponsored by channel 11 news, they have a free concert in the park with a beer/wine garden and live news broadcasts from the park. Good times!

They want to RIP out the big beautiful trees and half the mounds which will ruin its oases like feel reducing it to a one star park. Such a shame as they only need to make the concrete seating arrangement, perhaps a stone look. Then perhaps it would be a 5 star park.

Its on 5th Avenue in the center of downtown adjacent to the performing arts center and a block south of the arts district on 4th Avenue which is an excellent location. If you want some pics of some flowers and observe the skateboarders while you relax go to town square park in Anchorage.

Town Square Park is still a work in progress, but when there is an event, especially when hosted by the Downtown Partnership, good times are had by all. It is a great space that should be used more often. Still not the best place to go after dark, however.

Its a park in town and they put out flowers in the summer and have ice sculptures in the winter. Less homeless than there used to be before they took the fountain out, but still see drug use and drinking occasionally.

In the summer the city plants tons of beautiful flowers and there are great activities and food stands all around. However, the homeless also hang out here and often beg for money,

Would be a good place to hang out at if the city maintained it and stop the homeless people from using it as a bathroom.
