Living in Periwinkle has its perks. The Periwinkle Creek Bike Path takes cyclists along a 2-mile scenic route through two city parks to the Heritage Mall and the Monteith Historic District.

At the Northwest Art & Air Festival, over 40,000 people gather at Timber Linn Memorial Park to watch dozens of hot air balloons float through the sky, drifting peacefully above Periwinkle. “I always get really excited when I see them in the air,” says Amy Bennett, Aquatics Coordinator at the Albany Community Pool. “I look forward to that weekend because you can see them flying on Interstate 5 heading toward the fairground. It’s a pretty cool sight to see.”
From big shopping plazas to small local shops and galleries, Periwinkle, OR has it all.
