Cook Park Playground Shambrook Parkway, Colonie, NY 12205

"Such a wonderful playground!! We needed a place for our girls 9yrs and 2.5yrs to play in the middle of a trip upstate, and this park was perfect. The playground was good for a very wide range of ages of kids with a small house for little kids, climbing ropes, an accessible zip line with a seat, and a free swinging zip line rope. Swings for big kids and babies, a safe teeter-totter, slides of so many lengths and heights. The only thing missing was a splash pad/water feature (which we are used to at most NYC playgrounds)!! Then not far are bathrooms that were very clean and well kept. The women's bathroom had a changing table and plentiful paper towels to dry your hands. And right outside the bathrooms was a half circle of benches facing a small waterfall into a pool. The playground itself was diverse and full of friendly cool families. Outside the playground area, there were rolling grassy hills facing a pond, a small amphitheater that we're sure most host outdoor concerts, and plenty of places to go for a run or kick a ball. And all of this right off the main drag, just down from a major shopping area. We loved it so much, we are sure to stop here on any trip between NYC and Syracuse!!"

"Best playground i ever seen so far. I definitely gonna be back again, my child loves it."

"One of the best playgrounds I have visited. my kids love coming here to hang out here literally for hours."

"We love this park! I have a 6 year old and an 18 month old and they both found plenty of things to do here. I felt better with it being fenced in. There were other families there who were friendly and we had a good time overall. We love being able to take a walk and see the ducks afterwards!"

"Love this park! The kids always have a great time. Some of the playground equipment is a little challenging for young kids but there is still fun stuff for all ages. There is also a nice public bathroom. There are baseball fields, a small duck pond, an amphitheater and public grills and picnic tables too. Really great place for family fun."
