    Anthony Street Albany, New York - Albany
    The nearest disabled parking is 300-500 feet from Pool/Playground/Picnic areas. At top of hill is a suitable area for additional disabled parking and access aisles which would serve areas and connect to paved pathways. Minimal expense to comply with Federal laws on disabled access to city playgrounds and recreation areas.

    Western Hills Park east parking lot - Missing signs for Disabled Parking including: ground markings for disabled parking spot and access aisle, 'No Parking' sign for Access Aisle, and Van Accessble sign.
