Even though the upcoming concert event isn’t happening on the National Archives site next to the park, campers there are being asked to move out like the rest.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Anchorage police were in Cuddy Park on Tuesday afternoon to tell the remaining campers there it was time to move on. At the same time, Parks and Rec crews were cleaning up what was left behind.that it planned to abate an area that included the Loussac Library grounds, Cuddy Park and a parcel owned by the city known as the old National Archives site, where many tents were located.
“People are questioning, ‘Are they being moved out of the park simply because the promoter doesn’t want them in a space looking unattractive next to where they have paying customers?” Hess said. “We elected to draw a little wider zone than just the park property itself because we really felt like that was the prudent thing to do for public safety as it relates to really, what is going to be one of the largest events that Anchorage will see this summer,” Braniff said.
