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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

This was recently built and it its architecture is similar to the old Voorheesville train station. There is a small train-shaped playground area for the kids, and some informational display maps for anyone interested in learning about the area. But for me, the draw is a nice place to sit and watch the trains go by. I used to park here in the dirt and grass parking lot and watch them, but now I have some creature comforts available. For the biking and/or walking enthusiast, the trail has a lot to offer too. My wife walked along part of it and noticed other small areas to park and relax. All well and good, but for me I just want to see the trains. It is nice that everyone can enjoy this area.
