Al-Tro Island Park, Late 19th century amusement park in Menands, United States.
The park covered 45 acres and featured 23 attractions, including a 900-foot boardwalk, dance hall, pony track, merry-go-round, and amphitheater.
Opening on May 27, 1907, manager Max Rosen invested $100,000 and employed 400 workers to develop the park in just three months.
The name Al-Tro combined Albany and Troy, reflecting its position between these cities and its service to their communities via steamboat transportation.
Visitors accessed the park by electric trolley or steamboat as it was separated from the mainland by the Hudson River and Erie Canal.
The park maintained its own police department with 15 officers in 1907, which decreased to nine members by 1909.
