Overview
Built by the New York State Department of Transportation and leased, improved and maintained by Broome County Parks Department, Otsiningo provides a refreshing interlude close to the urban core. Bicycle and pedestrian paths are combined with picnic areas and athletic fields on a unique area of wooded riverbank.
Otsiningo got its name from the Indians who once lived there. It was the site of an Indian village in the 18th century.
