Peratrovich Park sits at the epicenter of downtown’s core on the corner of 4th Avenue and E Street. Named after civil rights activist Elizabeth Peratrovich of the Tlingit Nation. Peratrovich worked for Alaska Native equality and is credited with the passage of the Anti-Discrimination Act of 1945, the first anti-discrimination law in the United States. Since 1997, Anchorage Downtown Partnership has facilitated programming in the park with partnership with Anchorage Parks & Recreation. Guided by a vision to create a welcoming, clean, safe and vibrant environment, we program multiple concert series daily throughout the summer and additional family-friendly during some of our annual summer events. Our safety and maintenance ambassadors facilitate a safe environment daily keeping their eyes and ears out for suspicious behavior or an unclean environment.
