Glen Park · Directions
Glen Canyon Park combines an accessible children's play area, recreation center, field, courts, picnic space, and restrooms with an urban canyon shaped by Islais Creek, rock formations, and seasonal wildflowers.
The canyon's 3.7-mile trail network crosses varied habitat and a steep eastern slope without a uniform surface, grade, or accessibility assessment. Accessible playground, picnic, restroom, and building components apply only to those facilities.
