Parks & Nature
It's close for casual bike trips, has acess to scenic Coastal Trail (with miles and miles of hiking opportunities), some interesting plaques about nature and history of Anchorage, and the epic 1964 Good Friday earthquake.
This part of Coastal Trail included in Earthquake Park is roughly a mid-point of the famous "Planet Walk" (www.http://anchorageplanetwalk.org/)
"...The Anchorage Light Speed Planet Walk is a scale model of our solar system. Taking the walk, you experience the relative size of the planets and their distance from the Sun. The scale was chosen so that a leisurely walking pace mimics the speed of light..."

UNBELIEVEABLE views of Anchorage and Turnagain Arm!!
Flat Top is the most frequently hiked peak in Alaska, likely due to it's convenient location just outside of Anchorage and relatively accessible climb.
The name 'Flat Top' comes from its broad flat summit; created by the grinding action of ancient glaciers. The trail starts from a wooden stairway in the parking area. The path makes its way through scattered trees, and isn't very steep to begin with.
