Thacher Park
Pick the ideal location for a city. Make it a port on a Albany

Albany’s prime location, stable economy and quality of living
are luring an increasingly diverse population to the Capital
Region. From large corporations to seedling businesses and
flourishing arts organizations, the region provides the goods
and services to sustain each.
The 152-acre Siena College campus is located in the subur-

the Capital Region, and more than 50,000 students live and
learn in the region’s 14 colleges and universities.
If it is entertainment one seeks, you need not look far. The
picturesque town of Saratoga Springs is located only 20 minutes
north and is home to the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, an ©Wadester16

the summer, the serene town transforms into the mecca of The Times Union Center, located in downtown Albany, hosts
thoroughbred racing, drawing over half a million fans annually some of the country’s top entertainment acts, and doubles as
to view its exciting races. the home of the area’s premiere sporting events as well. The
Albany River Rats of the American Hockey League, the Albany
Lake George
Conquest of the Arena2 Football League and the Siena men’s
basketball team all play home games in the arena.
Outdoor fun takes students skiing on some of the best trails in
the Northeast, hiking in the Adirondacks, or boating on the
Hudson or Mohawk rivers.
It’s that simple. This is a place of entertainment and excitement,
of history and beauty. From daydream to fact, the Capital
Region is fulfilling the highest expectations of a diverse and
growing community.
