About Glen Park

The small commercial center is known as Glen Park Village.

The center is clustered around Diamond and Chenery streets near the BART station. The village has a grocer, cafes, restaurants, and the Bird and Beckett bookstore.

The housing is varied, with cottages, Edwardians, and mid-century homes climbing the slopes around the canyon. Glen Canyon Park has trails, rock outcrops, and Islais Creek, with a recreation center at its mouth.

The streets are hilly, parking near the center can be tight, and some lots back right up to the canyon slopes.
