Ray E. Storck 

Regional Park in Bear Valley

As with any volunteer-run park there is a need for volunteers to assist with 

• 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:

1. No gas-powered motors; electric or hand flight gliders and sailplanes only (for keeping noise to a minimum)

2. Flight must be contained over the soccer field area only

3. Only ARCS members (covered under insurance) my fly at this location, it is not a permit for public use

4. Users must have their permit on hand with them to show anyone who questions this activity

5. 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.
