Takena Landing

An Albany City Park

Albany's original name was "Takenah," an Indian word describing the "large pool or depression" created by the Calapooia River where it joins the Willamette. Too often this got translated to mean "hole in the ground"; hence the decision to rename the community.

The park has picnicking, hiking, and boating facilities and located on the west side of the Willamette River.
