Confirmed from Glen Arbor 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.
Tree-filled, grassy park & popular local haunt for dogs to run around off-leash.
What runners say about Glen Arbor Park
“Beautiful park live to take clients here for out door shoots friendly community Love it there”
Nice park. Lots of nature walk trails and a stream bed. There's a hill at the entrance but it's not bad. It's downhill to start and uphill going back to the car. Bring a wagon if you have a lot of stuff. There are three or four picnic tables and one outdoor charcoal grill.
Had a nice little run with my dog and found the disc golf course. Nice place for both. I have been here 3 years and did not know about this gem until this week
Glen Arbor Park has a very relaxing atmosphere. The park is a natural environment with few amenities, (no restrooms, no playground, no paved trails). There are two picnic tables for public use. This is a favorite location for photography. Dogs are allowed off leash.
Nice large wooded and open grsss areas. Most people consider this a dog park, if this is the case it could use some more dog doo clean up stations, we bring our own but these days it gives the lazy people an excuse not to clean after their dogs.
