I was invited to play softball as my work place has a team that participates in a league. I was…read morereluctant at first, but decided I have been getting lazy and just get out with the weather being perfect. I dragged my son in with me and he wants to make a trip back to this park already. There are multiple softball grounds and has some historic significance which I have no clue. I got my exercise, my son had fun and that is all that matters. There were other kids there playing football, on scooter, bike, mini motorcycles, softball and some play equipment which looks fairly new.

Here is a cute park located in north Troy. I can't call it a "little park" as the footprint is…read morequite expansive with lots and lots of flat, green grass. I can't call it a "large park" because the areas where you can do stuff (a playground, a seven-move fitness area) don't take up a lot of real estate. It is, perhaps, a perfect sized park. We came for the playground area and it was a lot of fun. There were many slides and steps for kids to climb on, but I can say it wasn't built for toddlers. School age kids would appreciate the reach and engage with the challenges more. There was some candy on the ground (and bees... boo) but we were able to avoid them. Swings and ladders provided lots of areas to play. It is built on wood chips, not that rubber stuff, if that matters to you. It looks like this area was an old school, as a very large round paved area could have been a running track at one time. Another large, rectangular area seems the right size for a basketball court area. Now, both are just flat pavement. The area is bounded by several hills which likely would be great for sledding. There were also several picnic tables for snacking on, and a water fountain which was sadly enclosed with a fence. Parking was plentiful. This seems like such a nice playground in seemingly the middle of nowhere. I hope more kids discover and enjoy it.

Was a regular spot for my son to spend an hour at the park. It was convenient to where I lived…read moreand a lot of kids around his age would be playing as well. The park is fun but looks a Lil Gothic with everything painted in black. There are a few nails that pop out and I have seen a few kids get hurt. In addition to the play ground, they have, softball, baseball, basketball, tennis courts, soccer fields and an ice skating rink. This is also the location for July 4th (independence day) fire works. Make sure you park a Lil far away and walk as the wait time is not worth it.

So many options and space to play! The kiddos loved the zip line! There is a spacious field to play…read moreball right next to the playground and bathrooms available at the building where the pool is. There are also porta John's next to the park. There are pavilions with tables and shaded tables in the park itself. Tennis court and work out stations along a walking path and volleyball court to enjoy as well! Truly a gem to the community!!

What a great park. My wife and I came here with our baby on a day off and it was a perfect place to…read moreplay. 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.

If you've got kids who love to run around, or who could use a sprinkler to run through on a hot…read moreday, Rosemont Park is your place. 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.

Nice sized playground with several different playscapes. The main attraction though is the big…read moresplashpad with 4 fountains. The kids love this on a hot day. Plenty of shade and seating areas too. And an old school merry go round! The only reason I'm subtracting a star is that there were adults there blasting rap music. The park is big enough we could avoid them, but I don't like explaining misogynistic lyrics to my kids on playground outings.

Small and quiet pocket park. There is playground equipment for older and younger kids, a pavilion,…read moretennis court (looks new), basketball area as well as another paved area. Lots of room for the kids to run around, plus it's fenced in with trees for shade and benches to sit on.

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.

This is a true neighbourhood park that is not huge but makes me appreciate its existence no less…read more The entrance is clearly marked and there's no dedicated parking, but street parking is really available. The playground is a bit sparse but it's spacious and has slides and swings. Once part the boardwalk/bridge with streams running underneath, there are several trails although they basically loop or otherwise all connect. There's a path that connects directly to what looks like the baseball field at Lisha Kill Middle School, so we could hear kids play while walking on some part of the trails. I hope this natural space is preserve for a long time for all to enjoy.

It's so hard to get outside and back in society with your children. This park was exceptional…read moreclean. People were respectful of personal space. 95% were masked. The other percentage involved hyperactive children and moms or nannies sitting in the shade with minimum social distance rules. It wasn't a big deal due to the large open space. Yet, it would be nice and polite that if you are not wearing a mask to keep it to your own space socially distant. The stars are primarily aimed at the quality of venue. Great park! Awesome spot for siblings as well.
