Lincoln Park, Public park in downtown Albany, US
Lincoln Park spans 68 acres featuring multiple tennis courts, basketball courts, handball courts, and ball fields for organized sports and community gatherings.
Established in 1900 as Albany's first public playground, the park was master-planned by landscape architect Charles Downing Lay in 1914 to serve city residents.
The park includes the James Hall Office, a National Historic Landmark, and the Thomas O'Brien Academy of Science and Technology, an elementary school.
The park operates from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and contains Albany's only outdoor non-wading swimming pool, which extends across 2 acres.
The land sits in a basin carved by the Beaver Kill stream, where a battle between Dutch soldiers and Mohawks occurred in 1626.
