    My family and I recently explored this park. It's clean, beautiful and filled with animals and flowers. The lake is absolutely serene and the fountain are great. There are some parts of the path that are surrounded by trees, vines and other forms of majestic nature. However, it's a little dark and hidden away. I would definitely walk with someone if it's dark out. This is my new favorite place for family time.

    I recently discovered this little gem while driving around. This place is discreetly tucked away in a small suburban neighborhood. Good place for a quick jog, take the dog for a walk. There is also a little playground area for the kids, and some benches if you want to sit down and eat some picnic food =) I like this place because its hidden away from the more crowded and congested areas of Albany. The lake itself is small but so peaceful. You can see ducks and geese, and there are also lots of muskrat holes in the grass as you approach the water. Oh yeah, and you can also fish here as well.

    Nice short easy little trail(about a mile) around a pond with fountains. Playground, portapotty, water fountain, parking area. Benches sprinkled throughout for sitting. There were several other people but it wasn't crowded. Duck and goose residents.

    Love it. So cute and somewhat hidden. A little playground for kids and a small trail to walk/run on.

    On Saturday evenings during the more temperate seasons, the playground area is full of families awaiting the end of Shabbat.

    We started coming here during the pandemic as a way to get out of the house. Their two dog park…read moreareas, which are fenced in, are reasonably large and clean and share a common "owner area" in the middle where we can watch our pets run around. The old Troy and Schenectady Railroad, now a rail-trail, was also pleasant to walk along through the woods. Admittedly, I enjoyed it more for its former railroad history than as an actual paved trail but there enough things to do and see including a large tunnel that went under Route 9 and a dusty cement plant. The water park area is fantastic with lots of spraying pipes and hoses and such in the kiddie spray area. There are several pools too for different swim levels and one had diving boards. Changing rooms with free lockers are provided, and there is a concession stand on one end that sells hamburgers, hot dogs, nachos, and the like. There is one downside though: they ID everyone that comes in. Colonie residents pay $7 each, and non-residents pay $12 each. That is for the day. It isn't a lot of money, and I believe you can purchase season passes to save money. But, on the day we came I didn't think to bring my license and they absolutely wouldn't let me in without some form of ID or proof of address. They asked if I had old mail in my car (nope), a way to check a bill on my [flip] phone (nope), insurance registration (nope), etc. We paid the $5 non-resident premium and moved on. I won't make that mistake again, and as a Colonie resident I sort of appreciate why they are doing it, but it was annoying.

    I really love the High Diving board and I wish my girlfriend could go swimming with me!read more
