Nice spacious park with attractive views. Very spacious, so theres plenty of room to spread out and not be on top of other people. Excellent place if youre looking for walking paths. If you choose to make them so, the paths can be between long and thorough, or brisk and short. Also has a combined of uphill and downhill so you can make your walk/run/bike/rollerblade/etc. as difficult or easy as you would like. In addition, roomy fields and grassy patches to play sports with a team or just one on one tossing the ball back and forth. Trees that also make it a great place to sit under some shade and read a book. Definitely more of a park in the traditional nature sense of the word, more than being like a park in the playground sense of the word; though, there is some equipment.

Once we figured out which entrance was open it was a unique experience.It started with a golf course, several areas to park along the way. Several people walking on the upper end.Had fun geocaching and seeing finding a 2002 virtual.There is a huge amount of trash down the hill near one of the geocaches.The Zoo is next door.

Great little park. Been going for years. Nice for walking and just taking it easy. Lots of grass and open space.

Five stars for the switchbacks! Not sure what else constitutes Roscoe Conkling Park. Theres a pavilion, exercise trail with stations, and you can still see the remnants of old campsites with fireplaces just off the trails if you look closely.

Wonderful place to walk and connect with nature. Especially, check out the switchbacks.

My daughter loves going there. The staff is always helpful. I think some of the animals need bigger exhibits.

Were from out of town and went here for an easy hike, it was so beautiful, definitely will walk here again.

This park, dedicated to military service men and women is grand. That place is what the real America is about.

Beautiful park right in the city of Utica. Great trails and paths but always be careful of cars & mindful of golfers! Definitely worth a visit. Dont forget to check out the switchbacks!

Very peaceful love looking at the water reservoir from the golf course area

I love it.Good for relaxing and walking.

Our girls had a great time.

Beautiful park with plenty of beautiful places to walk. There are lots of hill though

Wonderful place to walk. A lot of incline.

They are doing such a great job with the renovations! The animals were out and very active.

Beautiful part of Utica. Had a gorgeous view of all Utica.

The kids had a great time

Love it here

Great little zoo,very clean and well kept

Its a nice, small zoo, though theyre in the process of expanding. Great for kids, with an activity course built into the upper trail and a playground. There are some petting/feeding opportunities, too (goats, sheep, llamas).

The facility is awesome for young children interested in basketball and other sports, it has a security system in place to protect the safety of the participants, has a library, and a weight room. This is a excellently run facility!

Nice park near the utica zoo

If you want to get in touch what does spiritual realm this is the peaceful place to do it

Nice friendly zoo, easy to get to and walk aroundNot a ton of animals, but decent enough. Staff was very nice and helpful, price is very good, all and all a pretty good time. Definitely will be back

Great golf course. Maintained well for a municipal course. Inexpensive. Staff is friendly.

It doesnt matter the weather, snow storm or not. It is a great place to go!

Love this place, wide open parkway to walk on, no cars within walking path. Boilermaker trail.

Beautiful park with a lot of amenities. Utica New York should be proud to have a park, a zoo, golf course, ski slope and soccer field all within a few miles of each other.

Very beautiful and clran

Great hidden gem, nice place to spend a few hours with the family

I love the local zoo and getting to see the animals :)

Nice place, great golf course but its tick infested Be careful!!!

The trails are great but I love the zoo.

Utica Zoo is a wonderful city zoo with plenty to enjoy.

Five stars, location picture is two camels, what more could I ask for?

Great view

Not easy to get information online

Staff is pleasant. I only wish the animals, specifically the sea lions had a larger space.

I love going for run.

Use it or lose it the utica zoo...love this place a lot of work going on...cant wait

The zoo was great, even with snow! I loved the sealion feeding. I will return in the spring to visit the animals that were off exhibit due to the weather.

Great place to hike with the dog later in the day

Loved the Red Panda

Looked nice from the outside driving by on my way to the Utica Zoo....have not visited.

The staff has done a great job maintaining and improving the exhibits. Despite being cooler today, 54 and rainy, the animals were very active.

Great spot to see the fireworks over longlake.

Tennis courts are in good shape! Decent parking.

Is nice and big

Great for birthday parties, had a tour guide give the kids a tour of the zoo.

Nice small Zoo good for young children who might not be able to handle a super long day..

Great little zoo! Love this place...

This is an awesome park. New trails and bridges. Beautiful stone stairways and reflecting pool. We (Tramp & Trail Club) did 5 mi. hike by walking in park and continuing up Culver to the 911 Memorial on Tilden. Great place to watch soccer in the summer.

Lots of activities, soccer, basketball basketball, kids on bikes, adults restful time on park benches, team games for baseball too

Good

Kids had fun

Was a good place for the con.

Run here all the time.. great views and can make a variety of different routes at the same place

Good for the price and the kids to learn about animal

Nice zoo. Only one in the area.

Great place to experience the outdoors, with a superb view overlooking the city. As well as trails Criss crossing thru the woods. Connecting the south woods, fit trails as well. With the opportunity to partake in 12 different work out stations as you hike the south woods end.

Very clean well maintained

This is my home away from home, my original area.

It suked

Small zoo. Good for visiting with young children.

Great zoo should check it out

Fun with family.

Very nice walk!

Didnt even go there

Great zoo, we did the AWRSOME Zoo Red Panda Adventure.

Great park right on the shore of the lake. Parking available and great spot for a picnic.

Nice running spot

Clean and was fun with the kids. Enjoyed

South Woods Switchbacks is an awesome hiking trail. There are also some great views of Utica. It is a nice drive through the park (watch for deer). A ski run and golf course are, to me, odd things to have in a city park. I dont particularly care for those features. If I were a skier or a golfer, I would probably enjoy them.

So far so good I go snake hunting but I didnt see the whole park its great its right up the street caught and released one Garter snake missed another one beautiful beautiful deers a beautiful get away from the city part of Utica right up the street. Dont kill any snakes if you see them

A beautiful place to take a short walk, or even a long one.

I our Utica Zoo! Been a member for years.

Good park. Really cool during the sunset

Walk love the nature

Beautiful atmosphere in a beautiful city. Cozy and slow paced in a wild world. Much needed ... Thx for the down time

Utica zoo is always a good time.

Very peaceful. Beautiful place to walk and check out amazing views of the city.

Beautiful atmosphere

The kids are still talking about this place. On the list to revisit

Was here for a veterans day service project. It was so beautiful with all the flags on display.

Love walking here

Very nice to sit and park overlooking Valley View Golf Course

Best place in the city to go running or biking. excellent view of the city. beautiful place to just relax.

Nice

Love it there!! Such a great place to enjoy the outdoors and walk your dog

A hidden gem.

Awesome time

Close by home
