historic Canfield Casino, the Hathorn Springs, and the Saratoga Arts
Center. And on the other side of the park lies downtown with its varied
shopping and dining facilities.
Other nearby attractions include the Spa State Park which
consists of two golf courses, two public pools, and the Saratoga
Performing Arts Center which is the summer home of the New York City
Ballet and the Philadelphia Orchestra, as well as offering many special
headline artists. Near the Park entrance are the healthful Lincoln Baths
and crystal Spa where visitors can enjoy a sparkling mineral bath and a
relaxing massage.
