If you could follow Periwinkle Creek from south Albany all the way to its mouth, you would end up in Bowman Park on the Willamette River. But you can’t.
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 Sunday I took a few minutes to wander around the completely empty parking lot at Albany’s Bowman Park. No reason, except that the park was closed to vehicles because of high water a few days ago.
It would not be winter if Bryant Park in Albany didn’t get flooded for at least a few days, sometimes for weeks.
The sky above Albany brightened on Monday, and I took advantage of the good weather for an afternoon bike ride down the riverfront to Bowman Park.
Go down toward the river from the parking lot at Albany’s Talking Water Gardens and turn left. Now you’re on a dirt trail through the brush that leads to Bowman Park.
Anything new on the riverfront? Just this
What’s new on the Albany riverfront since yesterday? Well, not much, but the 11-step stairway on the Dave Clark Path now is open for the public to climb up or step down.
