We love this little park. Great for walking, hanging out with your family or just enjoying nature. They even have a pond and the ducks are very aggressive so dont feed them.

This park is one of the nicest Ive visited. It is beautiful no matter the season, time or day or weather. There are fountains, a carousel, a statue garden, walking trails, a gazebo and springs (Saratoga Springs is known for their Health, History, Horses).

Quaint little park set at the south end of Broadway in Saratoga Springs. Several mineral springs to discover as well as a working carousel. Always beautifully landscaped .

Beautiful peaceful relaxing park to be in. You can enjoy your time with the ducks near the pond and relax in the grass they waddle by you. There is a memorial beautifully made in memory of soldiers who fought in wars.

I love Saratoga Springs! As much as this park is good, it needs a lot more attention. The ponds and fountains have been a bit neglected. It was a bit swampy and not really great to look at. The lawn was well taken care of. This place needs more life. It felt a bit stagnant esiecially for a town like this.

I love Congress park! I stop at 4 Seasons and grab a buffet lunch, then sit at Hathorn Spring to eat. Congress Park is across the street. Its a small beautiful park with a museum, a carousel, war memorials and different springs. Comes complete with ducks!

Excellent Fall stroll which added the extra touch to a stroll in the park. The carousel was closed due to pandemic.

Ducks and squirrels and lots of beautiful scenery. Great place to have lunch. There are less of picnic tables and benches to sit and enjoy the park. Clean and just a very nice park.

Relaxed atmosphere with some of the buzz of Saratoga. The ducks are VERY hard not to feed, they try to help themselves but we succeeded... This time! We brought kittens from their vet appointment and had a picnic before going home. Nice evening. They were very relaxed- being Ragdolls helped especially when an adorable puppy came over!

A peaceful, relaxing park with various springs, art and monuments. Sadly the statue honoring soldiers of the 77th NY volunteers was destroyed by vandals this summer and only the pedestal remains.

Cool lush green walking park with fountains and Good seating places. Right off the main street in downtown Saratoga springs.

A lovely place to visit. The chief attraction for me are the several fountains (some in elaborate structures) where one can sample some of the natural springs waters, which made Saratoga famous. There are also numerous statues, ornamental fountains, memorials, a museum in the old casino, and more. In the spring the park is a riot of crabapple tree blossoms and in the autumn it show off its fall foliage. There are a number of events held in the park, such as a Native American fair I attended there. If that isnt enough, I recently enjoyed watching a small colony of chipmunks scurry back and forth, which made the visit for me.

Amazingly beautiful city park. Clean, quiet, relaxing, and pristine. Enjoyed a nice family walk with my kids and pooch. Loved the ponds, water fountains filled with trout, and the majestic statues spread throughout the park. Not too big but just right for a walk or just a picnic. Check out our park stroll with our pooch on YouTube under Erick and Ourbacks

Until this review I never knew this section was called Congress Park! Its part of a larger park-I always come in from Longsteett farm, go by the arboretum, pass the black walnut trees and wild raspberries, across the open field by the first playground and into a trail! Who knew that when I exited the trail this section was Co gross Park! Good to know we can still learn knew things! Love this area.

Beautiful park with water features, grass, willow trees, and flower beds. Lovely place to stroll to take a break from the bustle of Broadway. The carousel is on one side of the park in a lovely spot to take children.There are natural springs here that are made into water fountains. You can try drinking them, I think they taste kind of like copper pipes.

A cool park that has lots of history. I downloaded the map of the park and the map had history tidbits about the park. Tasted the waters which is/was quite a thing to do once upon yesterday. Plus a carasoul to ride for a dollar! Download the map..wont regret the download

Super super dope place to visit. It has ducks and a few spring taps to taste the Saratoga spring water. Dont drink out of the one with like six spouts over near the Braodway entrance though. I tasted the piping in one of my sips ha. The ducks are cool to see, as well and there is a ton of green space for picnics and games. Highly recommend.

Very clean and open park, its not that big. But thats really the only knock, because of the sculptures, the ponds, and the paths you really wish it was bigger just so that you could keep taking in the sites. Nice leisure walk in the park in the middle of Toga.

While Congress Park may be a bit crowded on a nice day, it is a great place to eat with family, bust out the laptop, or walk around with friends. I come here all the time and would suggest it to anyone who is in the area with some time to spare.

Beautiful and safe park with trails, fountains, and a stream running across the park. The big building in the center is the historic Canfield casino used as a local history museum now. Off to the side is the restored historic wooden carousel. Gardens and fountains make it perfect for picnicking. Great for kids and dogs as well. They also have concerts, art shows, and festivals throughout the summer. Arguably, the nicest place in Saratoga!

Congress Park used to be the best family park in Saratoga. Nowadays, it seems to be overrun with packs of confrontational young people playing music at unnecessarily loud volumes, and littering all over. When I was a young adult, if we had acted in such a manner someone would have come and set us straight!

Congress Park, built in 1913, is a spectacular location for a picnic on the many grassy lawns or a stroll through the beautiful manicured walkways enjoying the amazing ornate water features and sculptures. Don’t miss this gem! And if you have the time walk around the area to the east of the park or the north end of Broadway to view the must-see mansions.
