Glen Park
About this spot
An urban canyon with creekside habitat, rock formations, seasonal wildflowers, and a 3.7-mile trail network behind the recreation center. Families can choose a short lower-canyon out-and-back instead of committing to the full network.

Planning notes
💡
Start near Elk and Chenery, use the playground or recreation area as the easy anchor, and choose a lower-trail turnaround based on surface conditions and energy. The nature trails are different from the accessible children's play area, so bring a carrier when wheels are essential.
The official park page lists a playground, picnic area, and restrooms
The full trail network is 3.7 miles, but a family route can be much shorter
Creeks to Peaks is a separate 1.2-mile route with a stronger climb
Stay on established trails to protect habitat
