This is one of my favorite parks in the area. Not only is it convenient for me, but it also have a…read morelot of the amenities I am looking for. First, it has plenty of hiking trails and paths for scenic walks for families, including dogs. It has two well-maintained tennis courts, a basketball court, a baseball field, pool and plenty of picnic tables. It even has a big playground for the kids, and a pool. I love taking a walk at the paths, especially towards the top of the hill, and towards the back of the golf course. The park is dog friendly as well. I love taking my pup for a walk here. If you go now, they have banners honoring local military veterans, and war heroes. They also just added a memorial for heroes who served in wars. It's definitely worth checking out! There's a fee for parking on some weekends, but weekdays are free.

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.

It was hot though, and while lots of sheltering trees could be found around the perimeter it would have been nice if more shady things had been integrated into the play area. But, it had lots of stuff I had never seen before like rocking benches, cool sliding boards, and safe merry-go-rounds (ahh, bring back the days of the old metal ones that flung you off if you let go!). No dogs allowed on the playground itself, so if you bring one you are stuck also sitting along the edges watching.

I have been coming here for almost 20 years, when I moved to the area from Rochester for law…read moreschool. It was, and still is, a lovely little park. At the time, I would bring my text books and read them here while feeding the squirrels that would sit on the nearby posts. Active train tracks run by the park, so I would also see trains go by now and again. A baseball diamond was occasionally used for Little League games providing additional distractions from my studies. Since then, I have brought my wife here and just recently my son. We had had picnics here, walked with our dogs here, enjoyed food truck festivals here, and I still on occasion just drop by to get some peace and quiet. They had pavilions (which I assume you rent from the Village), picnic tables, a gazebo, basketball courts, a playground for kids, and lots and lots of green grass. Wonderful!

Just driving around, we could see lots of things falling apart (like the pool... enough said) or worn down. Their water splash area was large but only consisted of one pipe shooting water up. They had several large pavilions which families were using to celebrate, but I couldn't see many other areas to relax. The overlook spot was fun, though not very large. I think the clincher was the pot smokers who were very close to the slide where my son was playing. He doesn't need that. Those who love this place can keep it. With lots of other great parks in the capital district, I don't need to come back here.

Still, the somewhat limited amenities of the park also limit my options to enjoy the park, which is why I'm not sure if I'll be coming back here in the future. On a positive note though, I saw people jogging, biking, picnicking, and having their car towed, and it looked like the trail might stretch for many miles, so the park clearly provides many benefits to many of us. There are picnic benches and a gazebo, a public restroom, and plenty of parking.
