Resolution Park
What the experts agree on
Resolution Park's standout feature is its cantilevered viewing platform overlooking Cook Inlet, anchored by a monument to Captain Cook. It's tiny but historically significant, marking the explorer's 1778 discoveries that shaped Alaska's geography.
“This tiny park has a cantilevered viewing platform dominated by a monument to Captain Cook, whose explorations in 1778 led to the naming of Cook Inlet and many other geographic features in Alaska.”
