Wednesday’s story about the suspension this summer of paddle boat rentals on Albany’s Waverly Lake prompted a few questions along the lines of “Too bad, but what about the duck?”
Last spring a sign at Waverly Lake caught my eye, so I got off the bike and took its picture. Now the sign’s message has been superseded by events.
Prompted by a post on Facebook, my Saturday bike ride took me along the extension of Albany’s Periwinkle Bikepath behind Lowe’s Home Improvement Center. Here’s a video of what there was to see:
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.
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.
A good idea, but vandals destroyed it
Last year I noticed that the Albany Parks Department had carried out a nice new idea at Sunrise Park. But like so many good things in public spaces, it did not last because vandals ruined it.
