Cuddy Family Midtown Park — Attraction in Alaska

It's no fault of the homeless and I have no issue with them here, because it's one of the few places they can go since the City under the previous administration couldn't get their shit together. So I wouldn't call it a good destination for visitors. I'm not saying you can't, but it's basically an encampment like a lot of Anchorage's open spots.

The goose poop is also a concern, people feeding the wild birds attacts over abundance of geese and ducks.

Ampathater is littered with broken glass from the vagrants as well

Well planned multi use park that isn't managed at...
