Located in the heart of the city, Lincoln Park was established as Albany's first public playground in 1900. The park features Albany's only outdoor non-wading swimming pool, along with multiple tennis courts, basketball courts, handball courts, playgrounds, ball fields, and a youth fitness center that includes a gym, weight room, and activities such as wrestling, karate, dance, and cardio. In the winter, enjoy sledding down hills that go on forever.

*In the summer of 2022, Albany city introduced two replacement concepts for the historic Lincoln Park pool, seeking input from the public. On the site of the former pool in downtown Albany, with its empty and cracked floor, more than 1,500 residents participated in the feedback process. The first option, which includes a zero-entry pool, a concession area, a splash pad for kids, and an 1/2 sized Olympic lap pool, emerged as the preferred choice by a substantial 3-to-1 margin, highlighting the community's significant influence in shaping the decision. This will open on July 4, 2025.
