A new splash pad opened at Wallingford Park, at the corner of Congress Street and Fifth Avenue, just in time for the Fourth of July weekend.

The project was a collaborative effort by the City of Schenectady, The Schenectady Foundation, and the Capital Region Land Bank (administered by Schenectady Metroplex Development Authority).   The Mont Pleasant Neighborhood Association was awarded the funding through The Schenectady Foundation’s Thriving Neighborhood Challenge program.
