Washington Park is an 89 acre park in the center of Albany. The park is full of beautifully sculpted hedges and well maintained lawns. The park is home to over 100 species of trees and a 5.2-acre lake. The park also has many different paths, both paved and unpaved, so it is a great place for a bike ride or walk.

The Green Trail at The Crossings of Colonie is like a lot of the other trails in the park: paved, well-kept, and usually fairly busy. This portion of the Green Trail helps make up the loop that follows the perimeter of the park; you can always make shorter or longer loops at the park by connecting different trails.

"The Lake" in the park (kind of looks more like a pond) is a small reservoir with multiple picnic areas and trails circling the waters, and there is a main pavilion located on the southern end of the lake that can be reserved for events. Since all the paved trails at The Crossings of Colonie are located on what used to be an old farm, they are all pretty flat and a great place for workouts and faster runs.

Washington Park lake is a cool attraction; it has fountains and a bridge that crosses over the water. This section of trail along the water is flat and fast and also fairly picturesque.

Washington Park is huge (over 80 acres) and offers a load of amenities and attractions. There are a handful of trails in the park; some are paved, some are crushed gravel, and some are dirt. Bikers and runners often use the roads in the park, as well. The park serves as a central location for in-town commuters and is a great addition to an in-town run.

Part of the trails in the park are dirt, and some are paved. The park is located close to the interstate, so it can get noisy but isn't as bad on the north side of the waters. The trail intersections aren't all marked, but the trails are well-kept. You never really get too far from the car, anyway.
