Pioneer Park 50th

Fairbanks North Star Borough

Fairbanks’ Pioneer Park is turning fifty. The park, which opens for the season tomorrow (Sat), was built to host a 3 month long exhibition in 1967 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the purchase of Alaska. As KUAC's Dan Bross reports, the park has endured as a tourist attraction and community resource.

Dan has been in public radio news in Alaska since 1993. He’s worked as a reporter, newscaster and talk show host at stations in McGrath, Valdez and Fairbanks. Dan’s experience includes coverage of a wide range of topics, from wolf control to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and dog mushing.
