Ray E Storck Park
Welcome to the Ray E. Storck Regional Park in Bear Valley
Park Hours are:
07:00 am to 10:00 pm – Monday thru Sunday
- The gate will be locked during CLOSED hours.
- Vehicles left in the lot will be locked in.
- You will have to wait until park opens or call APD to open the gate.
- You may park outside the gate after hours.
As with any volunteer-run park there is a need for volunteers to assist with the following:
- Picking up litter and debris one time per month.
- Reporting the volunteer activites and hours to BV Parks & Trail coordinator. This helps us with matching grants for future funding.
- Notifying the Bear Valley Parks & Trail coordinator of any safety or maintenance concerns so that we can work with Parks & Recreation to remedy them.
History
May 15, 2006:
Anchorage Parks and Recreation has written a permit to allow ARCS Members (electric, radio controlled or hand flight gliders) into Storck Park on Sundays in the soccer field area. Here is a list of regulations discussed with the permit holder and from the permit:
- No gas-powered motors; electric or hand flight gliders and sailplanes only (for keeping noise to a minimum).
- Flight must be contained over the soccer field area only.
- Only ARCS members (covered under insurance) my fly at this location, it is not a permit for public use.
- Users must have their permit on hand with them to show anyone who questions this activity.
- Flights are limited to Sundays only and during park hours.
There are more guidelines on the permit for the users to follow, but these are the basics.
