The sixth key view (Figure 3.45) is of Harvard Park <strong>and</strong> the Anchorage Curling Club facility<br />

located near the intersection of Harvard Avenue <strong>and</strong> East Loop Road. The area is actively<br />

used for recreation, including tennis <strong>and</strong> curling. Harvard Park receives residential traffic <strong>and</strong><br />

provides views to the Chugach Mountains in the distance. Foreground views are of the park<br />

<strong>and</strong> nearby residential development. The visual quality of this view is moderate-to-high,<br />

owing to the park setting <strong>and</strong> views to the Chugach Mountains.<br />
