Albany Bulb is located behind the Golden Gate Fields racetrack and was created by decades of construction debris dumping in the San Francisco Bay. Over time, the debris created a landfill peninsula that became populated with underbrush and vegetation such as acacias, palm, fennel, and Himalayan blackberries. Today, the bulb serves as a popular spot for guerilla art, featuring notable works produced by area artists such as Osha Neumann and arts collective Sniff. Dogs are permitted on the bulb, though visitors are advised to keep leashes handy, as one area of the bulb is restricted as a burrowing owl habitat and several shoreline areas may be hazardous.
