Dana Park, Urban park in downtown Albany, United States
Dana Park is a small public garden located at the intersection of Delaware Avenue and Lark Street in downtown Albany. The space includes planted areas, walking paths, benches, and a water fountain for visitors to use.
Albany established this public square in 1826 as a gathering place for the community. In 1901, it was renamed and dedicated to honor geologist James Dana on Arbor Day.
The Thursday farmers market during summer brings local food producers and residents together in conversation. This gathering supports direct trade between growers and the community.
The park is easy to access and centrally located with multiple paths to explore the grounds. Visitors will find everything needed for a brief outdoor visit, including seating and fresh water.
A granite memorial displays carved sea creatures and serves as the last surviving horse watering trough in Albany. The monument was restored in 1988 after years of neglect in this downtown location.
