Albion’s 17 Parks

Albion has 17 official parks plus several areas that are similar to parks like the Albion Dog Park.

Albion once had the claim of parks per capita than any other city but has been beaten out by Cathlamet WA, according to this letter to the editor there.

However, with over 8,000 residents and an ivy league small college, and cultural diversity, Albion still has amenities that might be preferable to a small town of 500 residents. Albion also may now have the claim to the world’s largest Coca-Cola Mural, so we’ll be posting more information about that shortly.

With more people working from home than ever before, it is helpful to get into nature and away from stress to recoup. Browse some stories about Albion’s 90 acres of parks.
