The skate park makes use of the old tennis court surface and takes advantage of their terraced construction. It features a diverse range of obstacles and reflects input from community residents and Albany skaters collected during the design process. There is potential for a future phase to develop the upper courts, should funding become available." Albany Bluebanks SkatePark at Washington Park | Albany  more . . .

From Pine Bush: "Picture a wide open landscape filled with dense shrubs, scattered pitch pines, openings of prairie grass and wildflowers all rooted in sweeping sand dunes. This is the Albany Pine Bush, also known as an inland pine barrens ecosystem. One of the largest of only about 20 other inland pine barrens worldwide, the Albany Pine Bush is globally rare. It was formed toward the end of the last Ice Age 12,000–15,000 years ago. At this time a large glacial lake stretched from present day Glens Falls, NY to Newburgh, NY. Over time, the water drained leaving behind the sandy deposits of the lake floor. These sandy soils now support the Albany Pine Bush ecosystem. A fraction of the original Albany Pine Bush ecosystem still survives today. This remaining area is divided by interstate highways, shopping malls, and industrial parks, and is threatened by further habitat loss." Albany Pine Bush Preserve | Albany  website and more . . .
