Noted for Nordic skiing trails, in snowless months the park is frequented by runners, bikers, hikers, archers, dog-trainers, motocross users, disc golfers, soccer teams, and rollerskiers.
In 2012, a single artificial turf soccer field with stadium seating was completed just south of the park's headquarters building, Kincaid Chalet.
Cook Inlet, Fire Island with its wind turbines, and Mount Susitna are visible from most hilltops in the park.
[1] The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail connects Kincaid Park to downtown Anchorage and provides excellent biking or skiing.
The area now designated as Kincaid Park, along with nearby Fire Island in Cook Inlet was withdrawn from Chugach National Forest in 1915 and established as the Point Campbell Military Reservation.
