On a bike ride along the Albany riverfront Friday I went out on one of the two viewing piers. Here’s what I found.
Being under water for a few days toward the end of December apparently did not damage the short “boardwalk” at the bottom of Albany’s Monteith Riverpark.
What’s going to happen with Maple Lawn, the city-owned property at 1950 Salem Ave. S.E. that housed a preschool until last June? The short answer is that it will remain part of the Albany park system.
The bike took me to Albany’s Bryant Park Wednesday. The park remains closed to vehicles because of the recent flooding, but people can get around the gates on foot or on two wheels.
A trip along Albany’s creekside paths can be discouraging because of the mess that a few people leave behind. I was reminded of this on a bike ride down the Cox Creek Path on Jan. 6.
Back on the Albany riverfront, the news is about the same: High water in the parks, but no problems.

My bike rides along the Albany riverfront often lead me to Bowman Park, which on Monday, the third of March, was not exactly teeming with activity.
