Bryant Park

Bryant Park is a popular destination (and rightfully so) that is just a short stroll from downtown Albany. The 72-acre park offers plenty of space to recreate—activities here include an 18-hole disc golf course, horseshoes, playground, a basketball court, and softball fields. It is not uncommon to see youth softball games being played here. The park is located at the confluence of the Calapooia and Willamette rivers.

There are lots of picnic tables and even two reservable picnic shelters. A small area toward the northwest end of the park has some dirt ramps and jumps for bicyclists to enjoy. There are even rumored to be some short hiking trails here, although they are hard to find! Fishing, swimming, and boating (no ramp) are all common activities here.
