Cool spot to be cool!…read more Blue Banks is a 4 sloped, wide and adventurous skate and inline park in Washington Park in Albany, NY. There are tennis courts. This is a great outdoor space for teens and kids. There is a separate court closer to the lake, where there are 2 basketball courts. It is an all around fun spot to relax. Skateboarders are doing jumps and olleys over various steep obstacles, showing their boards and proficiency. Some make awesome high jumps and others narrowly avoid injury. Concrete + metal pipes and those round lumps in the ground. There are a few tables, wood seats. Review: 5

I'm Not a skater at all but my son did enjoy this park. There's no shade directly over the park to shield you from the heat so bring a hat and lots of water! The only shade will but under the trees next to the park.

If your idea of recreation is swimming or tennis, you'll have to go someplace else. If you want to walk, I guess you can walk the road through. A lot of the space is for well-maintained fields for soccer and baseball, with the largest having a grandstand. There's also a small playground, a basketball court or two, and a wooded area with picnic tables and grills. In the winter, skating and sledding and snowshoeing are available. Note that some of the fields and pavilions must be reserved using forms you can download, and more information is available at the Town of Moreau website.

If you find yourself in Saratoga for any reason at all (horses, golf, family, passing through,…read moreetc.), do yourself a favor and spend some time in the park. I've actually been to Saratoga several times before, and this was my first visit to the park, and it is BY FAR my favorite thing in Saratoga. The grounds are beautiful, and surprisingly large. The large buildings that house the Roosevelt Spas and more are well-kept, with the areas around them landscaped and looking like a beautiful college campus. There are also miles of hiking trails, equestrian trails, fishing, biking, disc golf, boating, and more. We weren't quite prepared, but walking around the park was enough. The tall trees, the running water...I just needed a little nature in my life. There is a reason that the Saratoga Springs are known far and wide, and the weirdly salty, effervescent water purportedly has a ton of beneficial properties. It also creates strange and wonderful rock formations, and you'll come across a few spigots where you can taste the water, and see how it affects the rock around it. I highly recommend doing a bit of exploring.

Ab fab! This is a gorgeous gorgeous park with easy manicured trails along beautiful woods and an…read moreoh-so-photogenic Geyser Creek. The numerous natural mineral springs are like little shrines and a hoot to sample - each one tastes different from the others, some more tolerable, some not; and all allegedly good for whatever ails you. Viewing the old spas and bathhouses (the Roosevelt baths) are stately and impressive. A nice visitor's center and gift shops are situated in a couple. During peak season, it costs $10 per car to enter the park - but it'd be worth it! - during this off-peak period it's no-charge. And the fall foliage colors are great!

This is a pretty interactive place for kids, lots to do inside and outside…read more That being said the prices a pretty high but they are literally the only game in town. They do have same day pass options that brings the price down, we had one adult, a 4 y/o and a 9 y/o and paid $100 for a mid level pass. The food options are your typical hot dogs, pizza etc with a very, very chaotic system, we waited about 40 minutes whenever we had an order and as expected luke warm and lackluster. All in all the kids had fun, had lots to entertain them, but pricey for multiple visits.

I skate at these facilities frequently. There are 2 rinks - one is Olympic; the other is NHL-sized…read more Weibel is the larger rink on the left (when standing in the parking lot looking at both buildings). There's a snack shop, a few arcade games, some tables, benches and a skate rental area. Locker rooms are spacious and not terrible. Bathrooms are usually pretty clean. There's a separate area with a Boxing gym that has odd hours; I haven't been able to crack the code on that particular business...but the Boxing club is attached to the Weibel building. Vernon - the smaller rink on the right - is more bare bones. There are bleacher seats for spectators, four locker rooms and a couple of public bathrooms. The locker rooms in Vernon are smaller...but again...not awful. Showers in the locker rooms vary in Vernon. Sometimes there's hot water and decent pressure....sometimes not. The ice depends on the day and the zamboni driver. At the beginning of the season, the ice is amazing. This past weekend, it had lots of rivets and ponds. But compared to other rinks in the region, it's still a nice facility. They have open skate, stick and puck along with lots of local teams practicing and competing. There's plenty of parking and the rinks are conveniently located right between the big box stores of Wilton and downtown Saratoga Springs.

This is a terrific place! It is so affordable. Entry for two people plus skates for one person…read morewas only $5.00. Locker rental was $0.50. Parking is free. As a new skater, I was very worried about falling. They offer tables that they put on the ice that you can use to balance yourself. They do not charge you to borrow one of these tables for as long as you want it. I had never seen one of these tables before, but it was so helpful. I did not fall on the ice and I actually made it around the park a few times. I am really happy with the city of Albany for making this skating rink available, and at such reasonable prices. Way to go Albany!

It's a great little playground but needs better signage to direct where to park to get close to it.read more
