This Park Is The Most Enchanting Place In Alaska At Christmas Time
Pioneer Park is located in the center of Fairbanks, an interior town that is a perfect winter wonderland. A lovely blanket of snow covers the pioneer cabins, most constructed 100 years ago. The old timey town is dressed up for the dark winter nights with colorful lights. A wonderful place to take a stroll with someone special or bring the whole family to see this enchanting park at Christmas time.

Pioneer Park was built in 1967 and called "A-67" at the time of construction. Many of the remaining cabins from the early days of the town were relocated here.
Even though it is quite centrally located, wildlife occasionally wander through the park including arctic fox, moose, squirrels and ravens are all around.
Pioneer Park really shines in the winter when the antique log cabins and houses are decorated for the holidays. You can read the historical plaques with information about the history of each one.
Enjoy Pioneer Park and the enchanting pioneer village during the long, dark winter. They will glow through the winter and bring a little beauty to the cold winter nights.
