The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail is one of Anchorage’s favorite and most important recreational assets and is enjoyed year round by residents and visitors. It was originally constructed in the 1980s and served more than 25 years without significant trail surface rehabilitation other than basic crack repair. In 2011 a one-mile segment of the trail was successfully resurfaced just south of Point Woronzof. An additional 6.6 miles of the trail were reconstructed and bridges were renovated in 2013 in sections between Kincaid Park and 2nd Avenue. Trail work required closing sections of the trail in coordination with a busy season of event that use the trail.
