Nature
Kincaid Park is a large Anchorage park on the city’s southwest side where forest, coastline, and broad views of Cook Inlet, Fire Island, Mount Susitna, and sometimes Denali meet close to town. Created in 1978, it occupies land once part of the Point Campbell Military Reservation, later used for a World War II submarine observation post on Fire Island and for the Site Point Nike-Hercules missile battery from 1959 to 1979. After military use ended, the land was transferred to the municipality and adapted for recreation. Today it is a major year-round destination for skiing, biking, hiking, field sports, disc golf, boating, fishing, and wildlife viewing.
