Historic park with a lot of cute buildings & stores. It looked like they were starting to refurbish the riverboat and hope they can continue to give this cute park more TLC. It was very quiet the Wednesday afternoon we visited, but still worth a visit from the shuttle bus. It would be a gem with some live music and maybe street performers. Maybe it has more activity on weekends.

The interior of Pioneer Park was lively. The busses and car traffic was crazy. We camped overnight in the lot and nice to have fresh potable water, the $12 per night was fantastic for a parking lot. The traffic during the evening was nuts .

A good option right in town to see Fairbanks. Boondocking in a parking lot basically. They do have water to fill tanks and trash cans. Self pay or go into Pioneer Park office and pay. Pretty lax on any rules, but we had no issues. It can be noisy since it is near a major intersection.

For one thing, the Pioneer Air Museum is in Pioneer Park so we worked that in as well. Unfortunately the the model RR was closed but we rode the train around the park and that told you about the rest of the Park. We also visited the Stamped Museum and watched the Show. Has an old paddle boat and a RR Car that we also visitied. Good collection of old houses that now serve as gift shops. Spent about 2-3 hours and felt is was worth the time.
