Fairbanks’ Pioneer Park has something for everyone By Bob Eley FOR THE NEWS-MINER
Pioneer Park offers a little bit of everything for visitors to the Golden Heart City. With eight museums, nine attractions, seven shops, at least seven places to get some
grub, many arts events, a playground, picnic areas and more on the 40-acre site, the historic theme park gives the visitor an opportunity to learn a lot about the Interior and early Fairbanks. PIONEER PARK » 33
