Glen Lake Park

My husband and I brought our 4 year old son here this past Sunday February the 28 and we really enjoyed it. It was clean and well lit we really nice

Nice park for kids of all ages. The people in this neighborhood are nice. There’s even a nearby dog park and pool.

Rather than dealing with the obnoxious hassle of going to piedmont park, we decided to look around at parks closer to us and I’m glad we picked this one. We went on a weekday and found some parking. This is a very nice, family oriented, all around recreational park.
There’s two port-​a-​potties by the parking lot, a pool (closed right now, early may) some tennis courts, a basketball court, some pavillions, a little bridge over a creek, a wide open field and a nice playground that big kids and little toddlers can play in. There’s baby swings and regular ones (no special harness swings), a little rock wall, and plenty of interesting things for the kids to climb on, spin on, and slide. And, a toddler favorite, a big olé pretend vehicle to climb into and ‘drive’.
There’s lots of friendly people who live in the adjacent neighborhood that visit regularly. My son made some friends and we also got to run around in the big field without bothering the tai chi group or the little soccer kids. Its pretty large.
There’s also a nice trail around the park on which people were running with dogs and strollers and kids.
This is a great park to take candid pics of your kids and family without bothering people, a good place to relax and read (there’s a pavillion far away from all the action), people watching, run that energy out of your kids and dogs, swimming, tennis lessons… all in a very relaxed, friendly environment.

How did I miss this part for the past 5 years? Maybe b/​c you cannot see it from the road. Anyways, Parking does kind of suck, and you most likely will have to park on Church St and walk past the pool and tennis courts.
I love all of the shade and how big the playground is. It has a lot of weird playthings for the kids to play on and use their imagination. There is also a large pavilion there. The only thing that I was not fond of was how close this is to a creek. It does make me nervous.
Overall, the kids had a blast and I was happy that there was some shade from the summer heat.

This park is lovely. Very nice with updated play thingy’s that kids like.

Just renovated! Double rim basketball goals though.
