The lakes served the population of the city east of North Pearl Street.[5] Plans to extend Manning Boulevard from its then current terminus at the intersection of Clinton Avenue and Central Avenue through the waterworks property were proposed in the 1870s and though grading and preliminary work proceeded, the street laid out was never a grand boulevard as proposed and the portion inside the park was never completed.[6][7] Due to neglect after being abandoned as a water source around the turn of the 20th century, the park became the site of an informal dumping ground in the 1920s and the lake became heavily polluted to the point where it allegedly was red with pollution from nearby slaughterhouses.[8] In 1957 the city turned the waterworks property into the Tivoli Lakes Nature Study Sanctuary, though by 1974 the area was in such neglect again that the Albany Times Union published a faux obituary describing the park's "death".[9] As part of a 1998 settlement closing the waste incinerator in the Sheridan Hollow neighborhood, the state funded a clean-up and upgrade of the preserve into an educational center in conjunction with the neighboring Philip Livingston Middle School.[10] Proposed in 2002 the Patroon Path will be a {{convert|10|ft|m|adj=on}} wide path from the Corning Preserve at the Hudson River west through the preserve along the Patroon Creek and Interstate 90 (I-90) to Rensselaer Lake and the Pine Bush Preserve.[11] ActivitiesFish in Tivoli Lake include bluegill, large mouth bass, and pumpkinseed;[12] birds in the preserve include woodpeckers, turkeys, red-winged blackbirds, and red tailed hawks.[13] Mammals include squirrels, deer, and opossums. Nature walks and birdwatching is a popular activity in the preserve.[8] Behind the Livingston Village Apartments is a 70 plot community garden within the Tivoli Preserve, it is Albany's largest community garden.[14] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Philip Livingston Magnet Academy|publisher=City School District of Albany|url=http://www.albanyschools.org/schools/livingstonmiddle/livingston.htm|accessdate=2011-06-19}} {{Albany, New York}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://members.localnet.com/~docsteve/railroad/local.htm#mohawkhudson|title=Mohawk & Hudson Rail Road|author=Sconfienza, Steve|year=2010}} 3. ^{{cite book|page=557|title=Albany Chronicles: A History of the City Arranged Chronologically from the Earliest Settlement to the Present Time|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XNU0AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA603#v=onepage&q&f=false|year=1906|publisher=J.B.
