Named after the original homesteader of the site, Russian Jack Springs Park on 801 Pine Street in Anchorage is a house for tennis courts, hiking and biking trails, a picnic area and the Mann Leiser Memorial Greenhouses with tropical plants, exotic birds and fish. Whatever you choose, you will get pleasure. And one more locals' beloved feature — a little black bear wandering around the area. He is a friendly guy, do not be afraid of him.
