Golden Heart Plaza

Fairbanks


This square is meant to serve as a natural nexus point for downtown activity in Fairbanks. Within the riverside square, you'll see a clock tower, winter wildflowers, historical plaques, paved pedestrian paths that lead to the river, and an 18ft statue of an Alaskan family – Malcolm Alexander’s Unknown First Family.
