Albany Parks & Recreation is hosting three activities to get you, your family, and friends outside in April.

• Talking Water Gardens tour:  Saturday, April 13, 10:30 a.m.-noon.  See how the gardens have grown in the past year.  This engineered wetlands facility is designed to reduce water temperature, restore riparian forest and wetlands, promote wildlife habitat, and create a living laboratory that brings wetland science to life.  Board the bus at 10:00 a.m. at Carino's Italian Restaurant for a free trip and tour.
• Procession of the Species:  Saturday, April 20.  Join this community celebration of the environment through art, music, and dance in a parade that weaves its way through downtown and back.  The Procession begins on Fourth Avenue in front of the Linn County Courthouse at 10 a.m.  Call 541-791-0058 for details.
• Geocache demonstration: Saturday, April 27.  Geocaching is a real-world outdoor treasure hunt where groups work together to locate hidden containers using GPS-enabled devices.  Meet at the Albany Senior Center, 489 Water Avenue NW, at 10:30 a.m. for an introduction before heading out in search of caches at 12:30 p.m.  Bring your GPS-enabled device.  Call 541-917-7777 to register.
