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!

If you love history paired with nature, this is a great place to visit! There's so much to do in…read morethe park and a lot of rich history to learn. If you run into a true Saratogian who grew up here, they will likely be able to tell you all about the features found in the park. If you're interested in staying directly in the park, the Gideon Putnam Resort and Spa is inside of the park to stay at! You can get a fantastic meal at the restaurant, enjoy the Victorian pool or even get spa treatments at the Roosevelt Baths. The golf course is also a great course at a reasonable price. The state park is also the home of a small production play theatre (directly behind SPAC). There is a famous amphitheater that you can always catch Dave Matthews at in the summer (Saratoga performing arts Center). If you're interested in natural healings, there are multiple springs (including one that tastes like normal water) that residents and visitors alike bring jugs to get fresh water at. The walking trails are wonderful and in some areas, there are mini waterfalls as well. In the winter, this park is great for cross country skiing. If you enter into the park and pay the entry fee, you can go to the Peerless pool which is gigantic! Quite a few pavilions you can also rent for reunions or large parties. One thing is for sure, there's usually somewhere for every type of person.

Oooh, some rare good news, one more thing to review from my Capital District World Tour. Anytime…read moreyou see a sign indicating people should limit themselves to two five-gallon containers of water during peak times, that's a beverage world trying. So the State Seal Spring is the marquee destination here, but for something worse-tasting but more unique the Geyser spring is within the same structure. Unfortunately the Charlie spring near the SPAC entrance wasn't flowing as of mid-December. The pine trees get five stars. I wish there were bathrooms available but that could be a seasonal thing. The park is technically reachable by bus but you might have to a wait a bit.

A bunch of flat fields people meet at for events and flag football etc. Not tons of shade but enough to keep it enjoyable. Bring water and you will be sure to enjoy!!! :) There has been some concern with suspicious people lurking by parks that's worth mentioning. One lady said she was with the paper and was taking pictures of kids and evaded once questioned. Another man was recently banned for lurking and aggression at the park.

I forgot how much fun it was to walk…read morearound and look at the farm animals (my wife grew up on a farm, in farm country, and was decidedly less amused... oh well). There were lots of cows, chickens, and rabbits to see. There were set-ups for antique farm machinery which were pretty interesting for someone like me who is into mechanical things. Their model train exhibits were underwhelming but frankly I will never turn down a chance to see toy trains. The same goes for their antique cars. The food vendors were not plentiful though they had nearly everything I could think of as standard fair fare (see what I did there?). Well, almost everything. I didn't see a popcorn purveyor, but all the other usual suspects were in full force. Some of it was a lot better than others. There were also the typical games and rides, though I didn't realize that our admission gave us free access to all of the rides until it was after dark. They might have posted signs at the door, but I didn't see them. It was a dark and stormy night, and the crowds weren't very large. This worked to our advantage, and it was pretty to see things lit up at night. We went into the food and judging areas and learned about their cooking classes and competitions. Perhaps we will think of something to enter for next year. I doubt peanut butter and jelly would win an award, but who knows? All in all, it was a fun evening. I am sure with better weather it would be a nice way to spend the afternoon.

The playground is mulched so make sure your kids are wearing appropriate footwear. My son usually plays on the swing and I take him there to use the basketball court. Its been a while buy I'll start back again in the summer. I have some bitter sweet and an adventurous experience and memory from this place. You can take a trail that connects to the local neighborhood and during winter I have seen kids sledding. There is ample parking space.

I use to love skating as a kid, but it is definitely hard to find skate places that don't make you feel dirty walking in. This place is it, it's still retro, well maintained with polite efficient staff both on and off the rink. They have a cute little toddler corner for them to skate their little hearts out. Respectful skaters and patient by standards the few time I busted my behind. They have skate crutches for 5 bucks. It's worth it. My toddler is a skater and that's fo a help her get there :) This is my new self care spot, you'll be seeing more of me! Thank you!

They've built a new playground near the pavilion that is pretty awesome, they've added more benches along the trails and they've done some upgrades to the ball field. The ball field still needs improvement and the road needs to have the craters filled so hopefully the town will take that on this spring. It's a peaceful place to walk my pup on my lunch hour to recharge my batteries.
