| History: |
In 1983 a master plan was
completed for massive sports facility development at Kincaid
Park. The aspiration of luring the Winter Olympics to
Anchorage was a driving force behind this study.
A visitors' center was
proposed for Kincaid Park on top of a hill that now is located a
FAA air traffic radar. The western slope of this hill was
to be a skiing and sledding hill with a rope tow located on the
south side of this open area.
Two ski jumps were
proposed for the northwest corner of Kincaid Park at that time.
The Jump in-run structures would have been located just to the
north of Pia's Overlook on the Mize Trail. The shared
landing hill area would run down the west slope of this ridge to
the flat area near the fence line. |
