Town of Colonie Schuyler Flatts Cultural Park, Watervliet NY

Nice option for a dog walk. The paved pathway goes around outside of the park, and the loop is about 3/4 of a mile.

Beautiful, well cared for park. Great place to walk your dog, run or walk.

This is a to large open area, but not a lot for kids to go unless you bring stuff with you. It is really good for taking smaller children bike riding though.

Non-Smoking sign is back up again after some public park vandal took it down, and this is thanks to the Colonie Parks and Rec Supervisor and those who put the sign back up. Changed from 1 to 4 stars due to this. This is a great park to walk, exercise, get fresh air and bring your children so they can enjoy the fresh clean air. This is a great park with the exception of some who ruin it for others and believe they’re above following the rules of public parks. And when not remove signs that are there to protect the most vulnerable (children). Hopefully I and the other folk who bring their children to this park to get fresh air won’t have to have their children’s lungs contaminated with different types of smoke.

Schyler Flats is more than a park, it's an historical site. The green open space is contoured by a circular trail murals along the way. The murals memorialize the history of settlements in the late seventeen century. Interesting info about the history of the place. You're to visit and read what that is. But don't be fooled by the vast open space. Also, there is an exit that leads to the empire trail leading to miles of beautiful views and sceneries along the border of the Hudson River. Incredible views in my opinion.
