"instead of" Vs. "instead to"

Question

Is the usage of "instead to" instead of "instead of" is correct?

For example:

I ran to the university instead to the park.

instead of:

I ran to the university instead of the park.

Answer 1

This

I ran to the university instead to the park.

is just wrong. You could write

I ran to the university instead of the park.

or

I ran to the university instead of to the park.

or

I ran to the university instead of running to the park.

Answer 2

The only time you'd see instead to is in a context like this:

We were thinking of taking a day trip to the beach, but went instead to the zoo.

We went to the zoo.

I didn't run to the park but instead to the university.

I ran to the university.

The abandoned thing (the beach, the university) is not mentioned after instead but it could be:

We were thinking of taking a day trip to the beach, but went instead [of the beach] to the zoo.

I didn't run to the park but [ran] instead [of the park] to the university.
