The National Park Service awarded a $249,533 Project Grant under the Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916) to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources to improve access infrastructure into and within South Fairbanks Park. The key products and services to be delivered include:

This project will benefit persons of all abilities and ages in the most densely populated and second lowest per capita income census tract in the Fairbanks area.
