Anchorage Returns Historic Park Bricks | Anchorage News

Anchorage is returning nearly 13,400 historic commemorative bricks from the 1990s Town Square Park fundraiser—each etched with names and messages—to original buyers before they’re lost forever. Once a major source of funding for park improvements, the bricks are now worn and being excavated as part of a major park renovation. While some residents are heartbroken that their cherished mementos won’t stay in place, the city is offering a hands-on pickup this summer. Buyers and families must register online to claim their brick, and volunteers are needed to help with the process. Unclaimed bricks may be repurposed in future city projects.
