Fairbanks builds a planetarium, its ballpark earns historic status, Juneau’s Treadwell Arena ends summer play, and Sitka hilariously opens new restrooms with cupcakes and TP.

Planetarium Project Underway in Fairbanks

Fairbanks is getting a new planetarium! Construction has started on a 5,700-square-foot, 65-seat facility at the University of Alaska Museum of the North. The high-tech space will feature an 11-meter dome, dual projectors, and four image-generation computers. It’s set to open in spring 2026.

Growden Ballpark Earns Historic Status

Fairbanks' Growden Memorial Ballpark is now a national historic landmark. Built in the 1960s and named for a family lost in the 1964 quake, it’s famous for the Midnight Sun Game and holds a special place in Alaska sports history.

Treadwell Arena Wraps Summer Fun

The Treadwell Arena in Juneau has closed its doors to pickleball and rollerskating for the season. Friday marked the last day for those activities as crews prepare to reinstall the ice.

Sitka Opens Restrooms With a Laugh

Sitka celebrated the grand opening of Crescent Harbor’s new restrooms with flair. Instead of a ribbon-cutting, officials sliced a roll of toilet paper, followed by themed cupcakes and smiles all around.
