Riverfront Park

I went metal detecting in the park. Good place to hone my skills.

Nice little playground by the water. A lot of goose poop

It's great for a meeting spot for those not from Rensselaer-u can literally see the park as u get off the exit! I used to walk the trail/path that wraps around the entire park itself w/my dog-1 side is a softball/flag football field & the other side which is where main parking is has a playground & couple picnic tables for adults-also a gazebo to catch some shade-they recently put a 🚻 bathroom & not a Porto pottie! I gave it 5 stars because of my personal experience-like I said it's great to take ur dog early morning or later in the day when it's not so hot-there r shaded areas just few & far! I also forgot to mention the basket ball courts/& tennis court! The basketball courts r right near the river so u catch a good breeze 👌 😎

My 4 yr old granddaughter had a blast in the sprinklers. Not crowded,very nicely kept.

Great day to sit by the water, fresh air great views of the Hudson River.
