Pioneer Park is a 44-acre (109-ha) city park in Fairbanks, Alaska, United States run by the Fairbanks North Star Borough Department of Parks and Recreation.

The park commemorates early Alaskan history with multiple museums and historic displays along the Chena River and is accessible from Peger and Airport Roads. A waterfront path connects the park to the Carlson Center, Growden Memorial Park and downtown Fairbanks.

There is no admission fee to enter the park, though many of the museums and attractions do charge an entrance fee. Concessions are open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, though the park is open year round 6am-11pm, and some events are held in the off-season. Free WiFi is available. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_Park_(Fairbanks,_Alaska)

Pioneer Park is a great place to learn about Alaska's gold rush history, with its museums and displays. While the park is free to enter, there are admission fees to some of the museums and attractions. The park can form part of a lovely amble along the Chena River, which takes in many of Fairbanks' historic downtown areas.
