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.

It is hard to believe that this place doesn't already have a review on Yelp. Also known as the…read more"Corning City Preserve," this park located between I-787 and the Hudson River is a long, narrow place that is perfect for walking above the water or perhaps resting and catching up with friends on one of its many benches. Located on the southern portion is an amphitheater of sorts (named "Jennings Landing") where Alive at Five concerts are held in the summer. A beautiful bridge goes over the train tracks and I-787 to connect this area with downtown Albany. There is also a couple of small ponds, a playground area for the children, and open spaces for Frisbee or picnics. The "Mohawk Hudson Hike-Bike Trail" continues north from here. I find driving into the area a little confusing as Quay Street is one-way only and you have to be heading north on I-787. I find it much easier to park at the free lots on Water Street and walk in. Just a word of caution... It can get a bit dark at night and there are some "regulars" who stay here throughout the night.

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.

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.

My family had an extremely disappointing experience with this summer camp, and I cannot recommend…read moreit to other parents based on how we were treated by the center director, Josh Pulito. I would give 0 stars if I could. Our 6-year-old daughter attended for the first time, and like many young children in a new environment, she was understandably nervous. Rather than being met with patience and encouragement, she was reprimanded for not immediately rotating between activity groups. At six years old, children often need reassurance and guidance while they adjust to a new setting. That was not the approach we observed. The following incident was even more concerning. During pickup, my daughter became excited to see her mother and ran toward her before the formal sign-out process was completed. Instead of calmly reminding us of the procedure, Josh raised his voice at my wife in front of other parents and children. It was embarrassing, unnecessary, and completely unprofessional. Wanting to resolve the situation respectfully, I met with Josh the next day. I calmly explained that I did not appreciate my daughter or my wife being yelled at and asked that any concerns be addressed respectfully in the future. Rather than acknowledging our concerns or showing any understanding, he focused on defending his actions and criticizing my daughter's behavior. At no point did he demonstrate empathy for the fact that she is only six years old and was attending camp for the very first time. After our conversation ended politely, I thanked him for his time and left. Later that day, when my wife picked up our daughter, Josh told her that if I returned, he would contact the sheriff because he believed our conversation had been threatening. I found this accusation to be completely unfounded. My discussion with him remained calm and respectful from beginning to end. He also stated that if my daughter did not "listen" the following day, she would be removed from camp. As a parent, I expect a camp director to model patience, professionalism, and effective communication with young children and their families. Instead, our experience was marked by confrontation, public embarrassment, and what I felt was a lack of understanding of age-appropriate behavior. Six-year-olds require guidance, encouragement, and compassion--not intimidation. There are many excellent summer camp options available. Based on our experience, I would encourage parents to carefully consider those alternatives before enrolling their children here.

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.

There's a strange thing about life with kids in the Capital Region. There are tons of playgrounds, but they are almost always empty. I think kids largely play in their back yards. Otherwise they all seem to go to The Crossings in Colonie. So sometimes, you may have this long and narrow park to yourself. But that's fine. There are a lot of trees, so parents can have shade. And in the summer, there is a spray zone, where kids can come with bathing suits and cool off from the hot hot heat.
