Glen Canyon Park

We came here for an afternoon walk after lunch in the city. The walking trails are mostly flat with stairs here and there and the scenery is also great. There are trees ranging in size from gigantic to med sized to ground covers. We came during the rainy weeks and there were plenty of blooms and unusual lichens and mosses covering the ground and larger trees. The biodiversity in flora for a smallish park in the middle of urban is amazing. There is also a children’s park with play structures. Overall this is a nice place to spend a couple of hours in.

This deep canyon, visible from the Miraloma area along O'Shaughnessy Boulevard in San Francisco, offers a peaceful retreat into nature. We enjoyed an easy 2.5-mile hike along the well-marked trails. It's an ideal spot for anyone seeking a relaxing walk while immersing themselves in the natural beauty of the park. It’s also a great place to walk your dog, and so far, there have been no coyote warnings. The hillside and trails are adorned with wild yellow flowers (field mustards), poppies, fire thorns, and other native plants that enhance the landscape. Apart from the park, it also has amenities like the recreational center, tennis courts, multi-purpose fields, a nursery Co-op school and playgrounds The cooler weather makes this an ideal time for hiking, though it’s important to note that some areas might be slippery in colder season. Make sure to wear proper hiking shoes, especially on the higher trails.

Beautiful canyon views on the side, but not so much in the middle. The recreation center is fantastic

Very clean and family friendly park. It has nice hills to have a light hike

What a hidden gem of a park, with a variety of flat and steep trails to hike or run on, and an incredible community center at the bottom (north end). Lots of hidden entrances from the park into the neighborhood it borders too, for easy access from anywhere (except the west side). It's common to see or hear the local coyotes near sunrise/sunset too.
