Confirmed from The Crossings Park of Colonie's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
This sprawling, tranquil park includes a scenic meadow, an arboretum, woodland trails & more.

The Crossing is a nice 130-acre recreational park located in Colonie, NY. The park offers nearly 7 miles of walking/hiking/biking paths that are paved. The centerpiece of the park is a scenic pond complete with geysers. Most of the trails are relatively flat and easy.
Beautiful park! Enjoyed the extensive amount of wildlife throughout the park.We found frogs tadpoles, birds, geese and of course to fish!! Great space for biking walking the dogs and letting kids get all their energy out.
Great paved walking paths, lots of wildlife to marvel at! Lovely spot for families, &I also feel safe running on the trails/paths alone.
The only and the best large community park in Colonie NY, developed on land once owned by the adjacent farm. What I enjoy most about the park is the variety of landscaping. You can check off your miles along a vast loop, sprawled over open space sparsely planted with small trees and shrubs.
