Adobe offers Flash Player for the Mac as a free download here. Flash Player is a proprietary product of Adobe systems and Apple has deprecated its use in favpr of HTML 5 as has Microsoft and other industry leaders largely because Flash is not well adapted to hand held devices such as the iPhone and iPad. There is no alternative to Flash Player.
If you need to use an older version of Flash Player, you can use Internet plug-in management in Safari to run the plug-in in unsafe mode for websites that you trust.
