Given the multitude of Anchorage parks, it is not surprising that some details regarding their naming origins have been lost to history. At least one local park name is misspelled.

Developers, and city planning departments that approve names, tend to be partial to themes. Collectively named streets are one helpful step toward the construction of a community identity.
