Anchorage Parks and Recreation Service Area Capital Improvements Bonds
The Prop. 5: The Parks and Recreation Bond has passed!
Your parks and trails make Anchorage a great place to live, work, and play. They attract a talented workforce, stimulate the economy, and set Anchorage apart from other cities. We believe that Prop 5 ensures that these assets that make our city so great remain clean, green, safe, and secure into the future.
