Anchorage, Alaska - June 8, 2016.

The Rooftop at 5th Avenue – Activating EasyPark Parking Spaces

The Rooftop at 5th Avenue and B Street is opening June 9, 2016. TheRooftopwas created with the idea to re-activate property of the Anchorage Community Development Authority that was underutilized and revitalize it for the benefit of downtown Anchorage workers, residents and tourists.

The Rooftop features half-court basketball, two concrete ping pong tables, a concrete chess table and lots of benches to sit on to enjoy a lunch break or take in the beautiful mountain scenery. For those that just want to get their walking time in, walk 6 times around the rooftop and get your 1 mile in or 2,000 steps!

The Rooftop is available for use Monday-Sunday 6am-10pm. Additional video equipment has been installed and The Rooftop will be monitored by our EasyPark Dispatch team to provide a safe and secure environment. As a reminder, be sure to bring your own equipment (i.e. basketball, chess pieces, or ping pong paddles/balls).

EasyPark is also renting out The Rooftop for special events and will explore the idea of outdoor movies and music events later this year.

For more information about The Rooftop, please call EasyPark at 276-7275 (Park) or visit www.easyparkalaska.com for news updates about The Rooftop.
