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.

The only thing is they really need to do is put lines in the parking lot. Turns out you can't put videos on this and all my really cool pictures of the Corning preserve were videos.

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.

There is a nearby playground with swings, a jungle gym, climbing areas, rocking horses and such, and it is surrounded by lots of benches for tired parents to sit in. There are fields to kick a ball around, several slides including a large bendy once that reminds me of a waterpark slide (what exactly is it doing where it is?) There are also trails to walk along. Taken together, it is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

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!

But "Tidal Estuary Park" doesn't really roll off the tongue. It's lovely to have this piece of land along the waterfront in Troy dedicated for public use. Sometimes it's a farmers market. Sometimes it's the grounds for a festival. But I like to walk along the river after a dinner in the Collar City, just to enjoy the view. The park would be nicer if there was more shade, and maybe a little less concrete. And then there's the issue of the big gaping hole where City Hall used to be. But even that crumbling infrastructure is part of the charm. It is. Of course, Troy is on an upswing, and development will one day fill in that hole. Maybe with a movie theater. Maybe with something else. We'll have to wait and see. I'm just glad that I don't have to be the one to make those decisions.

My wife and I have been here for festivals and it really is a great venue for that.

We have come here on the weekends with a blanket just to watch the fountain and do a cross word puzzle or eat take-out food. Parking is convenient, and it is nearby to a lot of walkable places for food, books, or other diversions.

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.
