Prospect Park, 80-acres in size, offering many activities for kids and adults including a playground and 14 tennis court facility, is located at 65 Prospect Park Road, Troy NY 12180 in Rensselaer County.

From Parks & Recreation: "Prospect Park is a city owned park centrally located within the City of Troy. One of three major parks in the City. The park consists of approximately 80 acres of land conveyed by the Warren Family to the City of Troy by deed dated December 23, 1902. Prospect Park opens each season in early April and remains open through early November."

"Prospect Park is a unique gem in the middle of the City. It provides spectacular, 20-mile, panoramic vistas to the south, west, and north. Rare species of trees, like the Catalpa, European Beech, Hawthorne, and Magnolia grace its grassy expanses; and its history goes all the way back to Uncle Sam.

"Since 1998 the Friends have worked to improve the park, and every year we have achieved something new: There is a great children's playground area with swings and slides galore; a new sign at the front entrance; tennis courts are abuzz with activity; a fountain provides refreshment in summertime; musical family events thrill children in the summer; a summer soiree sweeps guests off their feet; bathrooms at the comfort station and under the swimming pool have been renovated; and fall and spring cleanings and hundreds of new bulb plantings ensure the park stays beautiful."
