Albany has a strong park system with a neighborhood or community park in nearly every neighborhood zone, providing diverse recreation experiences with playgrounds, picnic shelters, sports fields, open grassy areas, trails, multi-use paths, and natural areas.
At Monteith Riverpark and Timber Linn Park, special events such as River Rhythms, Summer Sounds, and the Northwest Art and Air Festival draw people together and foster a sense of community.
Riverfront parks and urban spaces further enhance the system, providing river access and green space in more densely developed areas of the city.
