Welcome to Pioneer Park, where history is celebrated and preserved for all to enjoy. Pioneer Park is a 44-acre Historical Theme Park located in the heart of Fairbanks, Alaska - between Airport Way and the Chena River bike path. There is no admission fee to enter Pioneer Park.  Feel free to tour the Park and experience a self-guided tour of our artifacts, buildings, and grounds!  You can also enjoy the playground and Bear Art Gallery at no cost!  Some museums and activities charge a nominal fee.
