COVID-19 Update

All Conservancy Events Cancelled for 2020

The safety and well-being of our community is our top priority.  The Conservancy has made the decision to cancel all public programs and events for the rest of 2020. This year, we will focus all of our efforts on planning and implementing other projects on behalf of the park, including a major investment in tree planting, completing the installation of lighting around the Moses fountain, planning a new playground, developing a book on the history of Washington Park, and planning for the Park’s 150^th anniversary in 2021. We are also pleased to be a sponsor again this year for the Washington Park Farmer’s Market. Keep in touch with Conservancy activities through our E-newsletter, and our Facebook page.

Albany residents and visitors are lucky to have beautiful Washington Park in the heart of our city and we encourage everyone to enjoy all it offers. When you visit the Park, please follow guidelines issued for safe use and enjoyment of the park for all. Although coordinated volunteer projects are on hold for the time being, we greatly appreciate the efforts of individuals who are helping to keep the Park clean on their own. Remember to wear gloves if you are picking up trash during your visit. We all have a responsibility to protect the Park, its flora and fauna, and each other, with our choices and behaviors. Stay safe and be well.
