Washington Park: An Urban Oasis in Albany

Getting There

• Walking

  From the heart of Center Square, start at the intersection of Madison Avenue and Lark Street. Head south on Lark Street, which will turn into Willett Street. Continue walking straight for about 0.5 miles. After passing through the residential area, you will arrive at Washington Park, located at 35 Willett St. Look for the park entrance, which is clearly marked.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer to bike, you can rent a bike from a nearby bike-sharing service available in Center Square. Start at the designated bike station and head south on Lark Street. Continue onto Willett Street for approximately 0.5 miles. The bike ride should take around 5-10 minutes depending on your speed. Park your bike at the bike racks available near the entrance of Washington Park.

• Public Transportation (Bus)

  For those who wish to take public transportation, find the nearest bus stop on Madison Avenue. Look for the CDTA bus route that heads toward Washington Park (Route 10 or Route 12 might be suitable). Board the bus and ride for a few stops until you reach the stop at Willett Street. From there, it is a short walk to the park entrance. Please check the CDTA website for current schedules and fares, as a fare of $1.50 is typically required.
