Utica Parks and Parkway Historic District, Urban park system and historic district in Utica, United States.

The district encompasses four main elements: Memorial Parkway and three large parks - Roscoe Conkling Park, F.T. Proctor Park, and T.R. Proctor Park, connected by landscaped roads.

Between 1908 and 1914, the Olmsted Brothers Landscape Associates firm designed this comprehensive park system, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.

The Memorial Parkway features monuments dedicated to Vice President James Schoolcraft Sherman and numerous memorials honoring veterans throughout its grassy median section.

The district contains numerous recreational facilities, including the Utica Zoo, Valley View Golf Course, tennis courts, baseball fields, and the Parkway Recreation Center.

The Works Progress Administration constructed several structures within the parks, adding historical elements to the original Olmsted Brothers design.
