Golden Heart Plaza Statue Fountain Fairbanks Alaska

Tourists to the downtown core of Fairbanks, Alaska, admire the fountain and statue located in Golden Heart Plaza where one can spend hours reading the plaques.

Golden Heart Plaza is located along the banks of the Chena River in the downtown region of Fairbanks, Alaska, making this statue and fountain a centerpiece for tourists. The statue in the middle of the fountain is known as "Unknown First Family" and was created by Malcolm Alexander. It has been dedicated to all the Families of the past, the present and the future as well as the courageous and brave spirit of the people of Alaska's interior.

The statue stands 18 feet high with water spouting from the base near the feet of the Inuit family and then cascades over the rockery into the pool surrounding the statue. Thousands of tourists photograph the statue and the fountain while local residents of Fairbanks come here to relax in the summer sun.

Golden Heart Plaza was completed in 1987 and blossoms with colorful flowers in the summer months where many of the celebrations in Fairbanks, Alaska take place. During the winter, the plaza is adorned in twinkling lights which look amazing against the blanket of snow.
