Frear Park, Municipal park with golf course and ice rink in Troy, United States
Frear Park is a large recreational area in Troy with a golf course, ice skating rink, and multiple sports facilities spread across hundreds of acres. The grounds include two lakes, walking trails, and courts for tennis and other recreational sports.
The Frear family donated land to create this public park in 1917, establishing it as a community space that continues today. The site has grown over time to become a major recreational destination for the region.
The park hosts annual events including the Rensselaer County Men's Golf Tournament and Mayor's Cup on its 18-hole golf course.
The park offers year-round access to various activities, from golf and ice skating in winter to hiking and tennis in warmer months. Most facilities are easily accessible, and the grounds are suitable for families looking to spend time outdoors.
Two lakes within the park, Wright Lake measuring 500 by 800 feet and Bradley Lake measuring 500 by 1,000 feet, commemorate members of the Frear family.
