Playground equipment seemed very new and the area itself was quite clean. The playground was sitting in front of a lush green area which I believe has a creek behind it; beautiful. My old complaint is the lack of restroom. Other than that, a cute little community play area!

The other thing that I've seen as they were even taking care of place you had to go with somebody cause of all transients who moved around the outside this place and made it there homes. So I'd call for info if you decide to make a trip and to take a look for your selves. Be safe and enjoy.

Not my favorite place in Albany. And next time I'll do a better job of searching out local parks…read more Bowman Park is located on the Willamette River and is very basic. The boat ramp/dock makes it a popular spot for boaters, but by far the most popular mode of transportation were jet skies. Unfortunately it is a rocky beach, so it can only be enjoyable if you bring water shoes. There is one covered shelter, a bathroom and that's about all folks. Not a place where you really want to hang out. Perfectly fine if you have a boat or jet ski and will be spending the majority of your time on the river.

Operated by the county, it is a simple park with a good boat launch, partially shaded parking and your basic picnic and bathroom facilities. It is located 7 miles Northeast of Corvallis and roughly 2-1/2 miles from downtown Albany. My favorite part with was the arched pedestrian bridge over the boat lunch. Who says basic functionality can't have a little style?

It is very spacious, and close to the sandy volley ball court, and nice play structures. Inside Splash I have not been to in years so I really can't say much, I used to take my kids here when they were young and they loved it. They had swimming lessons here as well. My boys are grown now, but from what I recall the swim lessons were not too badly priced, and they loved going to them. When they hit the middle school ages they wanted me to drop them off at the wave pool with their friends! Ah ha! Had to throw that one in there. They loved the snack bar, and always came out with goodies. Hopefully they have healthier snacks now. But hey, it is a place for the littles to have fun. So enjoy while they are still young.

Both times the people around were not welcoming. The Easter egg hunt we didn't even get to do because they ran out of eggs after the first group even though 100s of people RSVP'd online. During the May tournament there were club members who were very unkind and you could tell they were proud to show off how much better they were than the beginners that showed up. They promote new classes and coaching but based on my experiences with multiple club members I would not want to be a new person in this space. The owner seems nice and passionate about his work and the courts are well taken care which is unfortunate as I would have loved to try this place out if I didn't feel I'd be judged the whole time.
