Roscoe Conkling Park

Roscoe Conkling Park is a large city park in Utica with several attractions inside its borders. A picnic pavilion sits near the entrance to the South Woods Switchbacks, and a ski chalet brings a bit of winter recreation to the city. It gives the city a large green space close to home.

For Utica residents, the park is a handy place to walk, picnic and get outside without leaving town. It works for families spreading out a lunch, hikers testing the switchbacks and anyone who wants a green break from city streets.
