Buckingham Lake Park is probably the most popular place to enjoy the water outside of the Hudson River while in the city of Albany. The lake is more of a pond, due to the fact that its depth is only three feet and surface area is five acres. Nonetheless, people love the pond in the winter when the water freezes up making it perfect for ice skates. Albany's citizens also use the space for cycling, jogging, walking the dog or just to lounge under one of the trees.
