Confirmed from 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.
Landscaped destination for short hikes, picnics and strolling, plus a baseball field.
What runners say about Glen Park
“The trails offer beautiful views and lead to a lovely beach with even more stunning scenery.”
This well-kept park features nice fields and is perfect for short, easy hikes. The trails offer beautiful views and lead to a lovely beach with even more stunning scenery. Since it's close to where we live, this will be our go-to spot for relaxing and enjoying nice weather.
Great local park. It used to be better, but someone bought the wooded area next to it and fenced it all off. There were a lot of fun trails in there
I love to take my dogs here. There is a leash policy all over the island, but if you go early enough, you can get away with letting the pups off the hook! This is a great place for family photos, picnics and family walks.
Nice place to take a walk. Trails are gone. Definitely a nice area to have a picnic.

The practical stuff

- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
