Caption: Schenectady's Liberty Park
Additional Description: The Clench's Tavern marker, along with a number of other markers, was in Schenectady's Liberty Park, the cluster of trees shown above. Liberty Park, a memorial park, had been a small triangular area of 0.20 (two tenths of an acre) bounded on one side by State Street to the North, Washington Ave. on the west side, and Water Street on the south side.

In May of 2011 the Chair of the Schenectady County Legislature had announced receipt of grant funding for the redevelopment and revitalization of City of Schenectady's lower State Street area. The goal of the project is to create a new gateway to Schenectady by taking a number of steps. The first step is using CDTC and Metroplex funds to develop a plan to redesign the current Liberty Park as Gateway Plaza.
