Parks and Recreation

Albany Village Park

Centered in our community, Albany Village Park is located behind Hocking Valley Bank on Broad Street. Easily accessible to all residents, it contains equipment for children of all ages including musical instruments to encourage creative play.

The park offers green space perfect for picnics, games, or for those who want to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The community gazebo is perfect for birthday parties or outdoor meetings and covers two picnic tables and three benches. The gazebo also sits next to a public grill. Lastly, during Summer and Autumn, enjoy beautiful native plants and flowers maintained by local volunteers.

The Park has served as the foundation for a vision of future recreational prospects for the Village. Goals include expanding recreational opportunities for teenagers and adults. The plan involves utilizing other “green spaces” in creative ways that support residents, homeowners, and local businesses. It also includes exploring the potential offered to the Village by being near Lake Snowden.

The Park is maintained by the Public Works Department with some financial assistance from donations and grants for designated improvements.
