So, what are some sober fun activities that GraceWay offers?
Albany, Georgia is home to locations where our residents can experience natural beauty, history, and adventure all in one. This charming city located in the southwestern part of the state is home to a variety of incredible sites and activities that are sure to provide both exercise and fun to GraceWay residents.
One of the top attractions in Albany is Chehaw Park. This 500-acre park offers a diverse range of activities, including hiking and biking trails, a playground, a zoo, and a BMX track. The park also features a variety of native animals, including wolves, black bears, and exotic birds. Our residents get a taste of history at the Thronateeska Heritage Center. This center is dedicated to preserving the history and culture of Albany and the surrounding area. The center features interactive exhibits and displays that cover topics such as the Civil War, Native American history, and the history of the area’s industry. Another popular attraction in Albany is the Flint Riverquarium. This interactive aquarium is home to a wide variety of aquatic life from the Flint River and surrounding waterways.
One of our resident’s favorite outings is the Flint River Trails of Albany. The trails system offers over 10 miles of hiking and biking trails that wind through beautiful natural areas. We also take our residents kayaking on the Kinchafoonee Creek and Flint River. Just 15 minutes away from GraceWay, one of the top tourist destination is Radium Springs. This natural wonder is one of Georgia’s seven natural wonders and features a beautiful spring that is surrounded by lush greenery. Radium Springs is a great place to picnic, meditate, exercise, or simply take in the beauty of the area.
For another adventure, we take outings to Providence Canyon, often referred to as “Georgia’s Little Grand Canyon.” This state park offers residents the opportunity to hike through massive gullies that reach up to 150 feet deep, caused by poor farming practices during the 1800s. The park also features beautiful pink, orange, red and purple hues of soil that make for a breathtaking natural painting. Also, during July and August is the time when the rare Plumleaf Azalea blooms, adding another unique color to the canyon. For more information on all that Albany has to offer, be sure to check out the Albany Chamber of Commerce. GraceWay is proud to call Albany it’s home since 2003.
At GraceWay, we believe in using these locations to provide our residents with fun and healthy outings. We use the natural beauty of the area to help our residents improve their physical and mental well-being and to promote a sense of community and togetherness.
