THE SCENE: The spacious lawn has lots of room to spread out – bring a chair or blanket and enjoy live music on the biggest outdoor stage and best grass in Fairbanks. There’s a playground for the kids, and outhouses on site.

MORE INFO: The Ester Community Park unique in many ways beyond its fantastic playground, large stage and lush grassy field. The privately-owned park is completely separate from the Fairbanks North Star Borough Parks & Recreation department and is maintained, paid for and operated entirely by volunteers with the non-profit Ester Community Association, using private donations, income from facility reservations and annual fundraisers like Ester Fest.
