Jenkins Park

If you live in Burnt Hills, you probably already know Jenkins Park — and if you don’t, that’s on you. The trails push right up against the forest edge, the two ponds are genuinely pretty, and the whole place stays clean in a way that tells you people actually care about it. Bring the dog, shoot some hoops, walk a few miles — it handles all of it without feeling stretched thin. Honestly one of those parks that earns its reputation.
