River Road Town Park — Attraction in Town of Niskayuna

River Road Town Park is one of many parks in the town of Niskayuna New York & my favorite. It's accessed by River Road, thus the name, but it's not easily seen from the road as one must drive up a roadway to get to it. There is a lovely playground for children ages 5 through 12 with equipment such as regular swings, a tire swing, and a baby swing. There is a big structure in the middle the children can climb up on, seesaw for 4 people, and a lot of slides.

Park is between the transfer station and Rosendale Road on the non-River side of River Road; NOT next to the transfer station/driving range/ballfields right next to the road. That park (on the River side of River Road, directly on the bike trail with the brown camp-style restrooms) is Blatnick Park. People get these parks mixed up; so you can differentiate by whether they are on the river side of the road or...

Lots of parking and lovely large trees surround this park/playground/softball field setting. The playground's coolest feature is a 20 foot spider web of ropes for ages 5 and up. There are easily accessible bathrooms, many picnic tables in the shade, and lots and lots of empty grassy space for kite flying, frisbee playing, or snowshoeing. There is a walking trail at the perimeter, and a Little...
