CREATING A MASTER PLAN FOR THIS NATIONALLY REGISTERED HISTORIC PLACE
Planning for updates

The City of Albany is creating a Master Plan for the beloved South End landmark—Lincoln Park.
In the 1800s, this newly registered historic site once cradled the Hudson River tributary, Beaver Kill, whose meandering flows created a ravine that reached depths of over thirty feet.
Over time, the ravine was filled, Beaver Kill was redirected, and Lincoln Park became traditionally redesigned as an urban park, blending its sloped topography and Capital viewsheds with park elements such as play space, public swimming, and other athletic opportunities.
Today, the City looks forward to bringing the community together to gather input that will create a new vision and updated layout for Lincoln Park. The Master Plan aims to build on existing conditions, showcase Lincoln Park's growing amenities, improve access and connectivity with surrounding Neighborhoods, and meet the ideals for programming and community engagement.
