Covering 134 acres (54 ha), Earthquake Park is on the site where a major earthquake hit Anchorage in 1964, causing a whole neighbourhood to collapse into the ocean. Around the park, you'll find lots of information about this tragic event. There are also superb views across the Knik Arm and Chugach Mountains.
