A perspective from Oregon’s mid-Willamette Valley

Turning a dirt trail into ‘community path’

Written August 13th, 2024 by Hasso Hering

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.


This Albany trail stays ‘unimproved,’ for now

Written July 21st, 2023 by Hasso Hering

You can walk from Bowman Park to Talking Water Gardens and back along a well trodden path. Albany’s plans call for this path to be improved as the South Waterfront Trail, but carrying out that plan will have to wait.
