Albany Bulb

The Albany Bulb is a unique, artificial island located in the San Francisco Bay, near Albany, California. Originally a landfill, it became a vibrant public space and art installation in the 1990s. The site features walking paths, sculptures, and murals created by local artists and homeless individuals. It serves as a gathering spot for dog walkers, hikers, and nature lovers, offering views of the bay and city skyline. Despite challenges such as erosion and legal issues, the Albany Bulb remains a testament to community creativity and transformation of neglected spaces into cultural landmarks.
