Confirmed from Roscoe Conkling Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Historic recreation area featuring the Utica Zoo, Valley View Golf Course & a woodsy trail system.
What runners say about Roscoe Conkling Park
“These are well maintained gravel trails that weave through the golf course.”
“Beautiful and well kept paths.”
So happy we made this a definitely visit while on our vaca! Beautiful and well kept paths. Opportunity to see animals that my local doesn't have. Price amazingly affordable! Give shop many memory option buys.
These are well maintained gravel trails that weave through the golf course. They have different exercise stations along the trail with pull up bars, etc I was looking for more of a rough trail to hike, but these trails are stroller friendly. All in all it was a pleasant experience and I will return.
Always a nice place to visit the animals and to have fun with the grandkids. On this day, I was just renewing my membership and took a relaxing walk through after work! Love the animals and the watering can!
Great place for a walk, hike or bike ride. All sorts of wildlife if you look in the background of the pic
