  • Tanana Lakes Recreation Area Master Plan Fairbanks North Star Borough Department of Parks & Recreation
    Tanana Lakes Recreation Area Master Plan Fairbanks North Star Borough Department of Parks & Recreation Tanana Lakes Recreation Area Master Plan 2007 Planning Team: Fairbanks North Star Borough, Department of Parks & Recreation USKH, Inc. FNSB - Department of Parks and Recreation Executive Summary This Master Plan outlines the Fairbanks North Star Borough’s (FNSB’s) plan for the future development and use of the Tanana Lakes Recreation Area, a 750-acre multi-use park south of the City of Fairbanks along the Tanana River. The purpose of the Master Plan is to provide the FNSB with a long-term, planning guide for gravel extraction and development of the recreation area based on resource opportunities and constraints, development opportunities and constraints, and public needs. The Master Plan details the planning purpose and process, existing site conditions and land use, resources assessment, public process and demand, development plan, maintenance and operations considerations, and permits and authorizations required for development of the recreation area. The project concept originated approximately 15 years ago by the FNSB and its need to extract gravel for use at the South Cushman Landfill. The unsecured site has historically been a common place for illegal dumping of junk or abandoned vehicles and other refuse, as well as other unauthorized and criminal activities. Passing years have brought to the forefront the desire to clean up the site in order to enhance the wildlife habitat and natural features of the area in conjunction with the FNSB’s plan to extract gravel. As a result, this Master Plan has become a priority driven by both public safety and the importance of establishing this area for the community’s use and enjoyment.
