Do not confuse this park with the Troy Fairgrounds which is north of town. Many web sites do confuse the two.

Unfortunately when I visited this park the western half was blocked off for some type of construction and I could not get photos of the gazebo nor the ball fields, nor pavilions.
On the upper road it was blocked off before the buildings, and the lower road was blocked at Monroe St.

Lots of great photos and fun on this Facebook Page for the park.


"Fairgrounds Park is located on Fairground Drive, off South Lincoln Drive. It has two covered shelters. The largest one contains kitchen facilities. There are four ball fields, three of which are lighted, two soccer fields, a sand volleyball court, horseshoe pits and stand. A stocked fishing pond for persons under 16 years of age or over 62 years is a popular attraction of the park. The limit is four fish per day.

"Numerous ducks and geese make this pond their come throughout the year. There are two lighted tennis courts and a lighted basketball court. Various city functions are held here, as well as Boy Scout day camp. There are community-sponsored baseball, softball and soccer leagues using these facilities and the concession stands. The playgrounds and barbeque pits provide enjoyment for family gatherings. The 25 acre park was acquired in 1893. An additional 17 acres were added in 1990. Pavilion rental is $75." ~ Troy Convention and Tourist Bureau
