Ticks galore and so many people let their dogs wander unleashed. The community farm/garden is really nice. Huge enclosed dog park. The main walking area is a huge grassy hill that you can walk as a big loop.

It is a good dog park but due to the weather it was muddy but Button still loves it. You will meet nice people there which is a plus.

Excellent dog park! Spacious, clean, and a great place for dogs to run and socialize. My pup had a blast. The only thing missing is a water source—especially on hot days, it would make a big difference. Bring your own water and bowl if you visit. Otherwise, it’s one of the best parks around!

Beautiful Park surrounded by Farms next to the normanskill river. Sometimes the dog park needs a mowing desperately. This is really just a big fenced-in open space for your dog to run around. There aren't any obstacles or things like that. They do have a dispenser for dog bags but sometimes there are still piles of poop. But generally people clean up after their dogs. Don't go here after it rains because there is a muddy patch near the entrance. Overall we love taking our dog here and she loves coming to chase her Frisbee and sniff around at the other dogs. It's also fun to see the cows and sheep on the hillside. There is also a nice trail that you can take your dog walking through as long as they are on their leash. Very beautiful and Scenic. We have also fished in the river nearby.

The dog park was great huge area for the dog to run around in, there was no poop bags so make sure to bring some.Watch out because other people didn't clean up after there dogs. Finding it was impossible and Google suggested driving my car into the river to get there. But if you turn down the road right before the self storage it takes you right down to it. Will definitely go again for the hiking trails .

Peaceful and calm trail for walk with/without your dog. Sounds of the river clean your mind.

Such a cool place only ten minutes from downtown Albany! A short trail from parking lot along the creek to follow for a cool view or swimming for dogs (or humans). Halfway through is a large fenced in dog park, little shade structure with picnic table and open grassy and woodshed area. Next to a community garden. Would love to come back again next time in the area. My dog had a blast :)

Amazing place to hike, wonderful dog park. Way too many off-leash dogs not under owners’ control. Playground None Restrooms None Dog-friendliness Off-leash dogs everywhere, many not under owners’ control. Beware Picnic area None

There are plenty of dogs there, most people don't mind the leash or lack of, as long as your dog is friendly, of course. The trail goes along the creek, and into a little woodsy area with shade. Bug spray is obvious, they weren't bad when I went a week ago. Water is good for swimming just find the little paths to the water created by dogs and people walking. You can enter by the vet office near the bridge on Delaware Ave, and go park there before the sign for the dog park. The dog park is a bit down. Some drive down. A good time for dog and person.

Great place for the pup to run and swim. Friendly walkers and dogs. Well behaved dogs can frolic in the field or take a swim in the kill. There is a fenced area for dogs as well where dogs can do a meet and great and play on a secure area. People seem very conscientious about picking up poo…which is much appreciated:)

Come enjoy a caged dog park next to the Normanskill river. You need to bring water for your dog and your own toys. It is a great place for dog training in the fenced area past the main parking area. Drive all the way back past the building to the garden and dog park. You can also practice going off leash on a nice hike up the hill and around a short loop. If it is dark or winter you can even hike all the way to the golf course.

Always an awesome experience! All the regulars have such well behaved socialized dogs. Absolutely the best park with a scenic trail worth the hike! 🐾 …

Nice large fenced area for dogs to run and play. Small shaded area with picnic table for owners to relax. Close to Normans kill where the dogs can swim. Would definitely come back.

We usually go to Hartman's but went to Normanskill instead. Our dog, despite all of the ice and snow absolutely had the time of her life. Especially since she had the park all to herself. My only issue is that she found a flaw in the fencing and got out. Luckily, I happened to catch her.

This was a lovely walk and you can even do most of it if you are in a wheelchair or use other aids.

pretty large fenced in area, nice walk on a trail which has rocky paths to walk down to the river, shallow river great for the dogs! . no running water in the park for the dogs to drink, bring your own.

Off the beaten path and very large area. I would recommend bringing poop bags and water for your dog. We have a large dog and this was a great place for him to run. You can drive all the way back and park next to the dog park and save yourself a LONG walk!
