Confirmed from Forest Glen Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Clean park featuring a playground as well as a series of tennis courts.
What runners say about Forest Glen Park
“Small but very clean park nice soft surface around the play area.”
“Park has a beautiful setup for kids but badly needs to be given some tlc.”
Overall a nice place to let your children play there are some different unique things that my child love like the roller slide and the sway away the layout of the playground equipment made it so much fun to run around I was right there with them and all the other parents children.
It's a nice playground near bike paths with it had public building for rest rooms only one out house Also has Tennis Courts other side of parking lot Nice area to eat undercover no grills Yes seen dogs you can walk around on sidewalks for exercise bring bag to pickup
This is great park. Usually always other kids here for mine to play with. Nice shaded pavilion with picnic tables to rest at. The playground sections are big and interconnect so the kids have a great time running around.
I was just walking my dog there, but I was very impressed with the children's play equipment and the surfaces of the play areas.
