Someone built a sturdy wooden structure in Albany’s Bryant Park, and I wondered about it when I first saw it on a bike ride through the park this week.
Five years ago, the first time I was there, I was impressed with Draper Park in Albany. The park seemed even nicer when I found myself there again yesterday, on Oct. 19, 2024.
Tuesday’s bike ride along my riverfront beat took me through Monteith Park, where I could not help but notice that tree cutters were at work once again.
The weeding of Albany’s Waverly Lake may become an annual affair, at least for a few years.
“Have you seen the Lake recently?” the email sender asked me on Friday. “Somehow the City investment is not working.”
Why didn’t I see shopping carts or other trash in Periwinke Creek on Sunday? Because a great bunch of volunteers hauled tons of refuse out of the creek the day before.
Taking the stairs: A handrail at Monteith
Albany’s newly reconstructed Monteith Riverpark has been outfitted with one additional feature: A handrail in the middle of the somewhat unusual, long series of steps down toward the stage.
