Hovey Pond Park

Beautiful gardens in a beautiful park. The only thing I noticed is the complete lack of butterflies Moths dragonflies and other pollinators, but then I noticed the signs that they posted about the pesticides they spray on everything. There is a lot of Joe Pie and. Milkweed, they are like candy to swallowtails and what few Monarchs there are left, I guess the spray got them. Guess a bug free zone is better.

Lovely park with a great playground, nice walking trails among the marshes and beautiful botanical gardens!

BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL PARK!! Did not expect the incredible botanical garden! I was visiting from out of state. I didn't even walk the whole park, but it's one of the nicest, cleanest and prettiest I have ever seen and I've been to hundreds of parks in many states. I was alone and this park was so welcoming and peaceful. Would have loved to add pics but there's already hundreds on here. I think there is a port-o-potty?

Great fenced in playground, with picnic tables & benches inside the fence. A short walk down the path to the gazebo, to overlook a cute little pond, flower gardens and additional little trails to wander. Occasionally the friendly little ducks come right up to you. Hands down our favorite park in the area! Cute little place to play or enjoy a picnic.

A great little treasure of a park. Good parking, small lot though. Port a potties, nicely kept playground, war memorial area, great gazebo overlooking the pond. They have picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, and even a wooden boardwalk through the marsh area.

Great spot for young and old kids. Nice walk around the pond and a couple short accessible boardwalks rough the wet land area.

This park has so much to offer for the size. Forefront has a playground and tables for families. As you pass that you come to a garden with paths to see all the natural plants from the area. Then you come to a platform that juts out over the pond where you may find kids fishing. Walking around the pond 4 times will complete a mile but there is another path, boardwal style, that takes you into the swampier part of the pond to indulge in the plants and creatures who reside there. Along the roadside of the pond is halfway brook, used for centuries by the local indigenous people, and then for the white man, who traverse it up into the lower hills of the Adirondacks on the way to Fort Ticonderoga.
Just sit a spell. It enchants you.
