This used to be an amazing park. Now it is just nice. Most roads are closed now and the pool is old and decayed. The playground and bbq area is mediocre at best. The disc golf is a decent course.

One of the best burger chains. Like all good burgers, eat it while still hot.

Has a nice disc golf course which seems pretty popular! Also, has a nice book walk for the kids. Was very well done. (As of July 2020) A nice place to go for a walk.

Large heavily used picnic park with grills and picnic tables. Water spray fountain for the kids. Pavilion for rent. Plenty of shade under trees. Run down bathroom facilities. Road areas seriously in need of repair. Horrific shame that large pool is empty, and neglected. This park could be a jewel. Wonderful sunset view from gazebo or bench at the top of the park.

Lot of green vegetatation in the heart of Troy, NY. Children can play with equipments specially meant for them . The view of Troy City from the park is lovely. Lot of space for family and friends to spend time. Nice place for picnic also.

Neat little park, kept clean great view. People use it to smoke weed so its kind of difficult to bring kids in certain areas...but hey do you.The four stars is simply because there is a HUGE cement old pool Im assuming just rotting.

I love this park. It has no real distinct features except that it is closeby to our urban area and accessible to our citys residents. They have wisely recently blocked off vehicle access to the overlook. This has inhibited the massive partying gatherings there. They have also installed security cameras there. As a long time park goer, This change is phenomenal.

Half the park is well kept and the other half has fallen into disrepair. Its a beautiful space worthy of being used again. May new life spring up once again.

This place was pretty nice. There are picnic tables with grills, a park for the kids to play in, cooling station for kids and even a place to play baseball. Its a good place to hold a family party or an event.

Its a real nice park. Plenty of space for people to relax. I do see garbage left behind. Wish people would carry out what brought in. This is excellent place that’s entirely up to us public to make sure we protect and use it.Great Views of Albany and Troy downtown.Steep trails for good workout.Playground for children. And tennis courts.Missing is fenced in dog park area. If they can arrange something for dogs it would be fantastic.

Its a very pretty park. There are spots with tables for people sit and hangout. Since it is at the top of a hill, you can get a beautiful view of the downtown. You get see the sunset too!! Parking is free.

Bathrooms were filthy!! Just left there to go,somewhere else. No toilet paper water all over floors and toilets disgusting. Only half the lawn mowed you would think that being memorial day it would have been upkept much better.

Scary place to bring a family. I grew up in this park using the pool, playing tennis, basketball and softball. But years ago Troy decided to close one of the biggest and nicest pools in Troy and just let the park go. Oh well find other places to go, just not prospect park

The cost of reserving for a birthday party at the pavillion was for what... so no one else could bbq? And Im pretty sure they could film the next Saw movie in those barely working, bathrooms of doom, death and despair.

The most beautiful park in all of Brooklyn. So many trails and paths that take you through the grassys fields and around the park. Child and dog friendly. Bring a map or have a phone because its very easy to get lost!

Great site, parking can be an adventure, but it is a lovely oasis amid the city of Troy. It closes in the winter, but theres a splash area, a good playground, a decent pavilion, and an absolutely gorgeous view of the city and valley.

Troys largest park was once the jewel of the city. It is no longer maintained properly. The old pool has a tree growing through it. The tennis courts need resurfacing. Drug use is rampant in various areas of the park. The city needs to pay more attention to this park. Time and money should be invested to restore and maintain it.

One of the largest parks in Troy and it will be great to see it brought back to its former glory. The view from the stone Troy sign is amazing and its good to see the city working on connecting to the South Troy neighborhoods.
