The park contains the larger of Albany's two public pools, the Lincoln Park Pool.
 It covers approximately 2 acres (0.81 ha), is 7 feet (2.1 m) deep in center, and can hold over 300 swimmers at a time.
The pool may be the largest cement pool in the Northeastern US.
In 1988 the pool was given a half a million dollar renovation after leaking so badly the year before that it was losing a quarter of its water daily.
The park also has a wading pool and spray pool.
Lincoln Park has multiple tennis courts, basketball courts, handball courts, and playgrounds as well as ball fields.
A youth fitness center (ages 7–19) with a gym, weight room, and activities such as wrestling, karate, dance fitness, and cardio.
Since the park's primary purpose is as a public outdoor sports/fitness activity center, the park sees lots of spontaneous non-traditional activities by the public ranging such as T'ai chi on the tennis courts.

Until 2011, two public schools were located within Lincoln Park, though the land they sit on was owned by the City School District of Albany and not by the city as part of the park.
They are the Thomas O'Brien Academy of Science and Technology (TOAST) and the Sunshine School.
TOAST still operates as a pre-K through 5 elementary magnet school and the Sunshine School was used for transitioning at-risk students in grades 9-12 from places such as jail, prison, juvenile detention centers, New York State Office of Children and Family Services, or drug treatment facilities.
 In January 2011 The Sunshine School was moved to Watervliet Ave.
and the Sunshine School building was offered for sale in 2012.
The Sunshine School is located in James Hall's former office.
TOAST has an associated Outdoor Learning Center in the park and a Geological Rock Park that opened in 2001.
Adjacent to the school's Geological Rock Park are 50 1-2 ton boulders from across the state of New York that are being temporarily stored there until a permanent home can be given to them on the grounds of the New York State Museum, both the state's boulders and the Geological Rock Park are open to the public.

Capital District Community Gardens (CDCG) has a community garden with 51 10-by-10-foot (3.0 m × 3.0 m) plots located in the park off Eagle Street.

For 55 years the American Little League of Albany has sold Christmas trees on the tennis courts in the park as a fund raiser.

As of 2015, the park has been a regular training ground for Albany's Gaelic Football club, the James Connolly Albany Rebels.
