You can reach Conkey Corner Park, at the corner of Clifford and Conkey Avenues, by taking bus # 1 along St Paul Street to Clifford Avenue and walking two blocks east, or bus #2 along North Clinton Street to Clifford Avenue, and walking three blocks west. If you're driving, you can park at Seneca Park and take the trail south from the Pocket Park on St. Paul Street. In this case, you'll be following the numbered story locations in reverse order.

Construction of El Camino, which follows an abandoned CSX railroad right-of-way, was finished in the spring of 2012. It was developed by the City of Rochester in partnership with the Genesee Land Trust.
