Riverside Park is part of what is known as the Old Stockade District of Schenectady. Here is what one website has to say about its part in history:

Riverside Park — Historically, this area along the Mohawk River was the beginning of navigation on the Mohawk River. Soldiers, settlers and traders headed west from the port that once thrived here. Boat builders made river bateaux and warehouses lined the riverbank filled with grain, salt, potash, furs and other goods that were loaded and unloaded from these boats. Ferrys moved back and forth across the river.

Here's the park as it looks today, sporting its fall colors as it might have the day Stanford & H.H. played tennis there:
