Movie in the Park | November 7
Andy's toy box is coming to Marie Drake Gym! Juneau Public Libraries and Friends of Juneau Public Libraries are presenting Toy Story 5 (PG) on November 7. The sensory-friendly showing is at 3:30 p.m. and provides a more relaxed environment with more lights, reduced volume, and closed captions. The traditional showing will begin at 6 p.m.
In between the screenings, the Marie Drake Planetarium will have a mini show from 5:15 to 5:45 where you can fly through the solar system 'to infinity and beyond!'
Doors will open at 3 p.m., so come early to enjoy an imagination-themed pop-up library and enter to win a $50 gift card. Feel free to bring your pillows, blankets, and snacks... we'll provide the popcorn!

Sigoowu Ye Park Reopened
Sigoowu Ye Park has reopened to the public as of October 21. Please note that all bikes are prohibited in the park. The park was temporarily closed due to unsafe bike use, but our team has worked hard to install new fencing at the park entrances in an attempt to increase safety and protect park surfaces. For a safe place to ride bikes, visit Cope Park downtown or the Thunder Mountain Bike Park in the Valley.
Jackie Renninger Park Adjusted Hours
Beginning on October 12, the Pipeline Skate Park at Jackie Renninger Park will operate on reduced hours through the end of October. The park will be open daily from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m., and all gates and facilities will be closed outside of those hours. This change responds to an increase in safety and sanitation concerns on the grounds. Park staff and the Juneau Police Department will also be conducting extra patrols during this time. We hope to return to normal hours in November if conditions improve. Thank you for helping us keep the park safe and clean for everyone.
Si't Tuwan Park Closed for Renovation
Si't Tuwan Park in the Valley is currently closed to the public as renovation work continues. Updates include new playground equipment, basketball improvements, drainage improvements, new play surfacing, and enhanced lighting throughout the site. For the safety of yourself and others, please respect the park closure and avoid all construction equipment until the project is complete and the park has reopened.
Replacement of Cope Park Water Utility Pump Station
Construction on a new water pump station at Cope Park is underway now and is expected to wrap up by early 2027. Cope Park will remain open throughout the project. The access road will be open to pedestrians the entire time, though vehicle traffic may be reduced to one lane periodically and briefly closed during certain construction activities. The 7th Street stair access will not be affected. Park users should follow all traffic control signs and flaggers and stay alert for construction equipment in the area.
