In the first episode of the Alaskaland Podcast, Mayor Bryce Ward sits down with Pioneer Park Manager Donnie Hayes to talk about the origins of one of Fairbanks' most beloved parks. What started as a "mid-century barnraising" for the centennial celebration of Alaska's purchase from Russia became a historical landmark, popular tourist destination, and community point of pride. Mayor Ward and Donnie also talk about the future of the park and the Master Plan and process currently ongoing at the Fairbanks North Star Borough.
