Town Square Park

Town Square Advisory Group

Recognizing the importance of Town Square Park and its place in the Anchorage community, Mayor Mark Begich appointed a six-person advisory group to guide the design of future improvements to the park as well as help gather public input about any proposed changes. Members of the group include:

  • John Blaine, Executor of Ruth Moulton estate
  • Jeanne Devon, friend of Ruth Moulton
  • Ron Cupples, son of Avis Cupples
  • Nickel LaFleur, Anchorage Garden Club
  • Cheri Spink, Anchorage Downtown Partnership
  • Don Simmons, Rise Alaska (downtown business)

Project Scope

The tasks of the advisory group are:

  • Review and comment on the proposed improvements for the E and F Street projects.
  • Appropriately commemorate park founders and advocates Ruth Moulton, Avis Cupples, Shirley Brundage and the Anchorage Garden Club
  • Review potential improvements to the interior of the park that would complete the site design from the 1980s
  • Discuss the existing condition of the Town Square Bricks and make recommendations. Provide comments on the Bricks HERE.
