Prospect Park Trail Expansion

Capital Streets in conjunction with Friends of Prospect Park has been working for years to expand trails in one of Troy’s most treasured green spaces. In 2025 & 2026, path-making was made possible through our efforts, with support from labor provided by Regeneron and other volunteers.

We built new multi-use trail connections between existing demand trails and the maintained area of Prospect Park, as well as better establishing the existing demand trails and maintaining the Garnet Douglass Baltimore trail, and creating new access points to the park.

You can now walk a contiguous nearly all forest covered loop through the park, avoiding busy roads, and enjoying the full extent of the natural beauty of this woodsy park nestled right in the heart of Troy. Our work isn’t complete in the park, but we are pleased to be able to expand access for residents and visitors alike to better fully appreciate all that this space has to offer, utilizing it for both recreation and transportation.
