8 Nature & Parks in Saratoga Springs That You Shouldn't Miss

September 21, 2021 Florencio Paulino

Saratoga Springs is one of those special getaway spots where everything is just, well, pretty close to perfect. The city's lovely tree-lined streets and grand old Victorians, porch swings swaying and gardens brimming with colorful flora bring to mind a gentler era. World-class horse racing, renowned performing arts and natural springs spas, plus 13 golf courses, 10 museums, a historic battlefield, fabulous boutiques, antiques and restaurants mean there is something for everyone. Relax at the Lincoln Mineral Baths, window shop in town and then it's off to the races. Walk everywhere, it's that kind of place. One of the oldest tourist destinations in the United States, Saratoga offers ample accommodation choices in elegant hotels, historic bed and breakfasts or comfortable inns. The only drawback is you may never want to leave.

City of Saratoga Springs Waterfront Park

Reviewed By Walsh13k - Saratoga Springs, United States

While being socially restricted during this pandemic it's nice to have a place to walk to and around while enjoying the view. Waterfront Park fits the bill! Burn a few calories going up and down the stairs and road, bring your kayak to launch, enjoy the view over looking Saratoga Lake. Just keep safe-distancing and it's all yours and it's free.

Sunnyside Gardens

Reviewed By Sarsprdoc - Saratoga Springs, United States

This place has been here since my kids were small and now they are 30+ yrs old. It’s only gotten better and I had to get TA to list it as an attraction for Saratoga. Known mostly as a flower and garden center, you have to go in the fall as we did to take our grandkids. Huge model train set up, mazes, music, wagon rides before Covid. They are family owned and have great flowers to start your spring landscaping.
