We picked up a sandwich and eat it on the bench in the park while we watched the ducks on the pond. More

Wandering around the town of Saratoga Springs, we came upon this beautiful park, with a lovely little lake full of ducks, a restored carousel, old-growth trees, and well-tended grassy areas. We stopped to sit on a bench for a while, while I took photos. There were couples and families strolling through the park, with little kids chasing the ducks around,... More

Lovely historic park in downtown Saratoga. You can stroll through and watch the baby ducks in the pond, ride on the classic old merry-go-round, sample mineral springs from the drinking fountains, or just soak up the sun. More

what a beautiful area. Great place to walk with the family in the early evening. Very clean. There were some shady people in the area on the way there but all in all it is a beautiful area. More

If there was ever a great little area just to stroll around, this is it! Free to enter, there are statues (such as "Spit 'n' Spat") scattered around, which always beg to be photographed. Frequently, brides and grooms can be seen having their pictures taken in the vicinity, including on the beautiful antique carousel, which anyone can ride for (I... More

The park has a monument to Spencer Trask with a fountain/scuplture by a famous sculptor. It was very pretty in springtime. More

On a warm sunny summer day, Congress Park has so many things to look at. Last summer I spent hours just walking around and practicing taking pictures of all the things around the park with my DSLR. You get it all, a little pond with ducks, a water feature with beautiful koi fish, several bubbling springs to sample or just... More

We were walking around downtown Saratoga Springs and came upon this park. The first thing we saw was water running continuously from a tap in winter. I went over to check this out and saw a sign explaining that it was naturally carbonated spring water. I tried it, and it was bitter yet intriguing. We ventured further into the park... More
