Introduction

Earthquake Park is a unique historic memorial park in Anchorage. On the southwestern coast, it commemorates the devastating 9.2-magnitude earthquake of March 27, 1964 (America's strongest earthquake) and offers views of Cook Inlet and the Anchorage skyline. The 1963 Good Friday Earthquake at 9.2 magnitude was North America's strongest recorded earthquake. The destruction was massive — this area was a residential neighborhood that collapsed in the quake; trail-side signs show remnants of ground failure. Informational plaques detail the earthquake's history, destruction and Anchorage's rebuilding. The park also offers Cook Inlet views. Visiting to learn about the 1964 earthquake and nature's power is an educational Anchorage experience.
