Savikko Park, locally referred to as Sandy Beach, is a park managed by the City and Borough of Juneau. The park, also the start of the Treadwell Mine Historic Trail Walking Tour, has covered shelters, two restrooms, and drinking fountains. This area is better for waterfowl during the winter, spring, and fall, and has a wide variety of passerines during the summer months.

Frequent waterfowl and seabird observations include Surf and White-winged Scoter, Bufflehead, Common and Barrow’s Goldeneye, Common and Red-breasted Merganser, and Marbled Murrelet. Frequent passerine observations include Red-breasted Sapsucker, Pacific-slope Flycatcher, Chestnut-backed Chickadee, Pacific Wren, Varied, Swainson’s and Hermit Thrush, and Orange-crowned Warbler, among many other species.

Directions:

From Juneau, cross the Juneau Douglas Bridge and take Third Street southeast for approximately 2 miles to Savikko Road. Then follow the road to the parking lot at the end of the road.
