River Road Town Park is one of many parks in the town of Niskayuna New York & my favorite. It's accessed by River Road, thus the name, but it's not easily seen from the road as one must drive up a roadway to get to it. There is a lovely playground for children ages 5 through 12 with equipment such as regular swings, a tire swing, and a baby swing. There is a big structure in the middle the children can climb up on, seesaw for 4 people, and a lot of slides. There is a nice-sized pavilion right behind the playground that has men and women's bathrooms and a charcoal barbecue grill Beyond The Pavilion there is a nice walking trail and also a Big Field where people can play baseball, soccer, frisbee etc. The park & pavillion can be printed for parties by calling the Niskayuna Recreation Department. I did that once for my daughter's birthday and I highly advise that if you are to rent the park that you rent it quite a few months in advance.

Lots of parking and lovely large trees surround this park/playground/softball field setting. The playground's coolest feature is a 20 foot spider web of ropes for ages 5 and up. There are easily accessible bathrooms, many picnic tables in the shade, and lots and lots of empty grassy space for kite flying, frisbee playing, or snowshoeing. There is a walking trail at the perimeter, and a Little Free Library!
