Albany, Georgia sits high above the Flint River with the sloping expanse of Riverfront Park providing some protection from flooding. Pathways lead down to a wide concrete trail which follows along the river. At street level the park is home to the Flint RiverQuariam, several children's play areas, the Albany Welcome Center, the Albany Civic Center, and a large statue of Ray Charles, an Albany native. Located nearby is the Thronateeska Heritage Center which includes a history museum, science museum, rail car display, and a planetarium. All have free admission except for the planetarium. The history museum is closed for renovations. We visited the science museum and the rail car display.The displays and information in both of them are pretty meager.
The park is accessible but the pathways down to the riverwalk are very long and drop about 30 feet from street level. The riverwalk is wide and smooth with a few hills. Thronateeska Heritage Center is accessible.
RV parking is available at the Civic Center and the Heritage Center. Park Heritage Center
