The other day somebody wondered on social media why the new fountain and aerators in Albany’s Waverly Lake were not working. But if they were off, it was because the power was out.
Ah, there it is, the sparking new fountain in Albany’s Waverly Lake!
Thursday’s bike ride took me to Waverly Lake to see if by chance this was the day that work resumed on keeping the lake free of summertime algae. And sure enough, it was.
Albany’s Waverly Lake is a picturesque feature of the cityscape, especially in winter when the water is clear. And city officials have not forgotten about the project to keep it more or less clear of algae year-round.
Once again on Saturday, as sometimes happens, an aimless bike ride around Albany brought me to a place I had never been.
Just in case you were wondering whether Albany’s Waverly Lake now has a fountain, the answer is no, not yet.
Visiting Waverly Lake on a very fine day
On Memorial Day, Albany’s Waverly Lake showed why it’s more than just a scenic spot in Albany. It’s also a magnet for people visiting the park when the weather is fine.
