Great riverside park. Cool little play area for kids and lots of open grassy areas and some cool fall colors while I was there too.

The place to see free concerts in the summer. Kinda oddly design. Close to the Willamette River, playground is right by the train tracks and bridge. Nice place to have a picnic. Close to the retirement center and the carousel.Post office is near too.

Great park has cook areas swimming spots and even a small playground. Also a great fishing spot. And the best part is there is never bums thete

City of Albany there are lots of trashbags piled around the trashcan. I hope this sitch is remedied promptly. Otherwise it is a beauty well love anducj used public space where all are welcome.

Monteith Park is a great family park. Its huge with numerous trails that start from the park and run along the Willamette river. The newly added carousel is adjacent to the park and is a great spot for you and the kids to come and play!I strongly suggest that if you visit our lovely town of Albany that you visit Monteith park, take a ride on the carousel, and enjoy the long trails that run next to the river..... Especially in the evening and especially with your significant other!! :)

It was a very enjoyable place to enjoy my amazing lunch hour!

Love playing Pokemon around this park! However hit or miss on shady folks .... Daytime mostly fine! Lots unleashed dogs , lots of shady characters from time to time.... However 12- 5pm always ok after that .....

There are a ton of great places to have a picnic or a BBQ in this park. If it gets too hot you can just walk down to the river and Wade around or jump right in. There is playground equipment for the little ones and a large pagoda for shade if its a sunny day.

Its a great place to eat lunch.. and take a walk along the Willamette River.. and release some stress and brighten your day

Quiet place early in the morning. Plenty of parking, not many people. Perfect!

Great places to sit in the shade. Picnic tables and a porta potty. Great way to spend the afternoon at a nice day.

Access to shallow water to play in and ducks to feed. Theres a play structure (that gets too hot in the sun) and theres a performance stage, shaded seating with tables, BBQ grills to use, and a large gazebo.

Nice park with long bikepath....if you arent bothered by seing the homeless

Beautiful riverfront Park in the heart of downtown albany

This park has a great river view and a wonderful soundstage. I just watched Curtis Salgado perform for free and it was fantastic. Ill definitely be back for more in the future. Highly recommended

A lot of Sam falling from the trees. And quite a lot of bugs. Otherwise a beautiful park.

Lovely scenery. Great swimming too.

Nice place to take a walk . Good river view.

I have attended concerts here, but this time, was a celebration of life. It was peaceful, lovely & calm. We obtained permission to launch biodegradable balloons from the pier overlook. As we stood looking up, the sound of the river below, meshed with our tears. It was a beautiful & touching send off, for a beautiful soul.

This park has many picnic table and outdoor bbq pits available. The public restrooms are closed until spring unfortunately. From here you have access to riverfront trail. The amphitheater shows the different high water marks from the past too.

Love this place! I can’t for river rhythms to come back!

Nice. Not thrilling, but nice.

Great location, great views. If running into graffiti, garbage and homeless folk dont offend your senses, then this is the park for you!

Very nice park and it clean and good place to kick bank and relax

Needs some major cleaning and garbage removal. But the paths were fun.

Spent lots of time with my son here. Will be curious about how the riverfront changes over the next few years

The river promenade is a lovely walk.

Terrific day for an art & air Festival! Go early! For best parking availability. The balloons were fantastic! Many unique crafts available at reasonable prices too!

Small play structure for the little ones but great views and plenty of picnic tables. We love the trees.

This park has so many events to help keep you busy. Carnival, concerts, movies, the river or just to take a walk and play with the leaves. The Carousel is rt down the street.

Beautiful and peaceful. Will definitely miss the concerts in the park this summer.

Most people were wearing a mask. It was nice just to leave the house for a bit, not that we got out of the car.

Wonderful place for a short walk. A few trails, followimg the river

My walk yesterday once again showed me mother natures power

Great river views, vegetation and very peaceful.

A fun park. We were learning about floods on this visit

A great place for pokemon go, features 5 stops and a gym on the river front. Easiest way to grab a 40 minute workout.

Great to grab a bite to eat and chill in the park.

We play pokemon and they have awsome concerts during the summer

This is a major city park that is part of the boarders between historic downtown and the Willamette River.Pros: The park is a decent size. It is well maintained. It has some covered eating areas, a few built in spots for people to grill food. The paths are cement, wide and easy to navigate. It has a small walking pier to the Willamette river. There is a small permanent stage where free concerts are available in the summer. They have a playground area for kids. The main walking path is the beginning of the Dave Clark Trail. You can walk down to where the Calapooia River meets the Willamette River. Note:Dont try to swim there! The water is swifter than it looks and there have been many drowings. There are places along the Calapooia, which boarders the park where it is safe to swim. The park entrance is also the entrance to the local senior center and the city carousel is next door to the park.Cons: Although the parking lot is fine for regular daytime visits, it is highly inadequate for events. The playground structure is safe but small and limited. The playground is also by the railroad tracks and young children should be well supervised as various trains are common place in this city. The permanent structured bathrooms are only open from late spring through early fall and the exact dates for this are not easy to find out. If you are uncomfortable being around those who are homeless, some of whom are definitely addicts, be aware that the parks amenities once attracted a good number of these poor souls. Recent city changes have more than significantly reduced the numbers but there is the possibility of spotting or running into a few.

Great venue. Gets crowded and more crowd flow control is needed.

Its a nice park. Good walking/bike path.

Nice park except when homeless are there. Love River Rhythms in the summertime.

Close to home. Even though it gets a little over run by homeless. They are for the most part respectful & not spangein ( spare changin )everyone that walks by. Still mostly safe for kids. Just have to keep an eye out for needles & things of the like.

Cant wait for them to redo it

We love this park ️

The grass is so green and lush and theres a trail that runs right next to the river. The kids playground and bathrooms are well maintained. Great experience

Whether River Rhythms or Summer Sounds, free concerts in the park are the best!

Camping sites are okay. But No fish in the lake. So sad...

Nice place for a picnic.

The amount they do with this park is great. They have a lot of summer activities here. If you are just looking for place to water, watch the water or enjoy a picnic this is a nice choice.

A great place to go with your family. Right next to beautiful Albany. And once every couple weeks they have a concert that is always exciting and never disappointing.

Beautiful, with great water access.

Sugar Ray river rythems.... Wonderful time with a park full of local citizens. The park was full so my estimate would be near 9,000 people. A very pleasant park in its own right where two rivers meet. Wonderful for picnics and get togethers with water access and a playground for the shorties... (Remember to always Bring life jackets to any water side event)

Its one of the worst parks in town. It is where most events are held due to the stage so for events it is great but as a park we are blessed with many other better options in Albany.

Beautiful park with RiverRythyms restores a sense of childhood for me. My grandparents used to take me canoeing from Corvallis to Monteith park to catch the Thursday concert and I always had a blast. I still do to this day.

I love River Rhythms! Usually good music in a lovely small town atmosphere! Blankets, sand chairs, a lovely park. Close-up and congenial.

Love walking by the river.

Peaceful. Beautiful. Worth visiting

Experienced River Rhythms on the 4th. Blanket area fills fast so get there to save your spot early. Although, we couldnt see the bands, the music was fun and engaging. The mosquitoes started at dusk. Be prepared! Lots of people and only had pleasant interactions.

Nice park. Good walks by the river, and a good piece of playground equipment

Quiet cool. nice walking trails.

What a beautiful place. Wonderful walk this morning. The paths and piers are well kept and views were magnificent.

Albany almost always has free family events at montieth and its a great place for all other events. Ive been to birthday partys,weddings,life celebrations,recovery events too! I love it!!

Peaceful and quiet most of the time. A good place to clear your head, do some writing, reading, spend time with friends, and much more

Good for kids Good for adults Good times

Kick the panhandlers out. Beautiful park the panhandler made us feel unsafe to leave our car.

Nice view of the rive

Great park on the river, clean and well maintained. I love taking the kids to the many events they have going on all summer.

Great picnic, love the concerts, but you dropped the Willamette Valley Concert Band that represents Albany.

This place holds amazing community wide free events. An amazing recovery event in June each year, bridges to recovery, Concerts, and movies, in the summer time, as well as other events I am not even aware of.

Lovely park, fishing the river or just a walk. Many community events and family gatherings. Senior center is there too.

The play area is outdated and small. Bathrooms are present but not recommended if you can avoid them. During events its a great place to come, but when theres no events you run the risk of being heckled by homeless folks or those under the influence of a substance.

Nice park in Albany

Its a all around good place to hang out.barbeque,fish and music.

Well maintained. Environment is family friendly. Events are well managed

Awesome park, convenient location, clean restrooms and occasional music- whats not to like?

4 stars only because a homeless dude kept pestering me.

A great concert venue. The free summer concerts are well attended. During the day, it is a wonderful place to stroll. Beautiful scenery. If you want more just go around the corner to Bryant Park

Great park, twice a week in July there are concerts. Monday and Thursday evenings, from 7pm on. Its fun!!!!

Its a place to go when there is concerts there and to take walks. dont go after dark though

Beautiful place. Well worth your time to visit.

At River Rhythms watching Sugar Ray live, its great and everyone is friendly.

Went to the hot air balloon festival here. It was awesome!

Really nice view of the river. Perfect place for a picnic or outdoor party. The Albany carousel is nearby too.

Beautiful and lots of trails

Well kept, fun place.

Went and seen Sugar Ray for River Rhythms Albany, great show, great venue!

It was a great experience I shared with an old friend of mine

Well maintained!! great family park!! I live close and am here daily!! Bathrooms are seasonally available!! BBQ stations with picnic bench seating covered or uncovered!

River Rhythms is always a great time.

Love it but you guys made us move when we were behind the tape

Always an amazing time the tribute band was spot-on the food atmosphere and ambiance was amazing

River Rhythms was a great experience!!! The kids had a great time with all the fun features of the park that you can do daily. We also had fun as a family walking along the river on the sand and pebble beach Remember to bring a life vest for little ones if they plan on going into the water the current can be tricky

Lots of walking paths, nice to see the river.

Overly full with drug users

My second home beautiful peaceful great place to take friends and family

Nice venue for River Rhythms. Lots of trees for shade and grass to sit on.

A decent park for kids and adults with access to the river.

A great location to see any River Rythums production. Tonight was a special treat to see BJ THOMAS & his band give a great show & s great turn out.
