Details

Event Type Walk/Hike Description Prospect Park is not just the playground and picnic areas on top of Mount Ida – it’s the whole hill! We will hike some of the older and newer trails as we explore the connection between one of Troy’s original green spaces and its surrounding neighborhoods. We will descend to Ferry Street on the original entrance road, pass the site of Uncle Sam’s house, and climb back up the Garnet Baltimore Trail that used to bring South Troy swimmers to one of the nicest pools in the city. The hike will loop down, around and up the hillside, looping back to beginning. Organization Hosting the Event Transport Troy
