Parks for All

Directions Contact the organization

Parks for All Parks for All works to bring play and recreation to ALL Alaskans--all ages, all abilities.

With the support of local legislators, the community, Parks & Recreation, Anchorage Downtown Rotary, local non-profits and businesses, and the Anchorage Park Foundation, three Anchorage moms started Parks for All to allow their children, families and friends, and all Alaskans to enjoy Alaska's awesome outdoor experience--together. Parks for All helped create the first fully accessible playground in Alaska at Cuddy Family Midtown Park, a central community play space and certified Boundless Playground. Children with disabilities will be able to play independently in a safe environment, and parents and grandparents with disabilities will be able to play with their children, without barriers, in Anchorage's crown-jewel park. Supporting organizations include: Municipality of Anchorage Parks & Recreation, Anchorage Park Foundation, Rasmuson Foundation, HOPE Community Resources, Programs for Infants and Children, The ARC of Anchorage, the Governor’s Council on Disabilities, Equine Assisted Therapy Alaska, Challenge Alaska, Special Olympics, the Ted Stevens Foundation, Rotary Club of Anchorage, Stone Soup Group, Alaska Division of Public Health, the Association for the Education of Young Children, Association for Learning Environments, National Recreation and Parks Association, the Northwest Americans with Disabilities Act Resource Center, Harper’s Playground, Anchorage Community Land Trust, the Municipality of Anchorage, Fairbanks North Star Borough Parks & Recreation, Landscape Structures, Exerplay and many others.

What a wonderful community!

The Alaska Friendship Circle, a recipient of thread’s Innovation Grant, is celebrating the opening of its new Play Center on Sunday, June 7. Families are invited to join the festivities, explore the new space, and support this exciting community resource. 💗

The play center was created to welcome children of all developmental abilities, including children with physical, sensory, cognitive, or social challenges. The space is designed to encourage friendship, movement, imagination, and community connection in a safe and supportive environment. 🤗
