Timberlinn park is albany's largest at 100.14 Acres
In 1958, the Jaycees were in the process of moving the Timber Carnival from its home at Waverly Lake to park land east of town because of seating, parking and building constraints placed on the lake property, which was owned by the Oregon State Highway Department, Loy said.
The Jaycees agreed to pay for improvements to the new 75-acre park with a lake as the centerpiece in return for exclusive use of the park during the Timber Carnival. The first event was held in 1959. Since that time, the regional park at 900 Price Road SE, has become a major draw for festivals, concerts and social, sporting, and veterans’ memorial events.
