City Unveils Improvements to Waterfront Park

SARATOGA SPRINGS — A ribbon-cutting ceremony Sept. 14 celebrated the completion of improvements to Waterfront Park. 

The community will now be able to enjoy a new playground, handicap accessible ramps, and renovated bathrooms and gazebo. 

“Waterfront Park was made possible by preservation and land acquisitions in 2001 by the Open Space Advisory Committee,” said Saratoga Springs Mayor Ron Kim. “It remains to this day one of the only points of public access to Saratoga Lake.” 

The project was made possible by a collaboration between the Mayor’s Office/Recreation Department and the Department of Public Works, using funds that had lingered in the Mayor’s Office’s Capital Budget program since 2013. 

Waterfront Park is located at 622-630 Crescent Ave. 

“Improving the property and structures at Waterfront Park for our community has been a priority of mine since taking office,” DPW Commissioner Jason Golub said, whose public works department played a large role in the renovation. “The bathrooms are restored and operational for the first time in a year, and the gazebo has been updated and renovated as well.”
