Washington Park

Washington Park is Albany's equivalent of Central Park. It has been public property since Albany's 1682 city charter, and was expanded through the 19th century. Washington Park sits in the middle of Albany, between Center Square, just outside of downtown, and the Pine Hills neighborhood, just outside the SUNY Albany student ghetto.
 
Albany Plan of Union Avenue - named for Ben Franklin's 1754 idea to unite the 13 British colonies under a single unified government. We all know what that led to.

  1. Really I like all the images of Washington Park. We all know that a picture can express hundred words. I'm truly awed subsequent to perusing this blog entry. I truly welcome the time and exertion you go through to impart this to us. I hope all the points with this share will be highly positive for the readers. The efforts have been paid back: students are embracing essay services more than ever getting that assignment, the next search is for essay writing service reviews.
