Cope Park
Cope Park is a lovely location near downtown Juneau between Capital and Calhoun Streets. Gold creek runs through the park and provides opportunities for spotting wildlife. Cope Park provides a bit of Juneau history as it winds along Gold Creek, which is the creek where Joseph Juneau and Richard Harris found gold.

It is a perfect day in Juneau for…rain! Yep, it’s raining again and I’m starting to wonder when summer will actually be here. It’s starting to get a bit depressing, but I try to remind myself that the reason Juneau is so green is because of the rain. It will get warmer and the sun will eventually come out!
Rain or Shine Juneau Has Plenty to Offer
Rainy days are common in Juneau, or rather I should say, sunny days are not common in Juneau. However, anytime the sun is shining in this town it reminds me of why I live here. There is no place as beautiful as Juneau. As a parent I know that rainy days can be cause for a crazy house. Kids are running around screaming or they sit around and complain of boredom throughout the day. Why not get kids out of the house rain or shine to enjoy Juneau?
