About the Venue

Festival Springs Fountain is an interactive downtown splash fountain at Riverfront Park in Albany. It is best for families who want a casual cool-down stop near the riverfront, Turtle Grove Playground, and other downtown attractions rather than a staffed splash-park complex. The fountain operates as part of the park environment and has published seasonal opening information through county tourism materials. This is a good fit for quick splash breaks, stroller-friendly downtown walks, and pairing with nearby playground time.
