A great all around park. It has wide open spaces. Soccer, basketball, tennis and pickle ball. Great new public restrooms and pavillion/building.

Nice place for a walk. The path to the lower falls is quite steep, if you have any mobility issues you may want to stick to the paved paths. The swinging bridge is quite nice.

Theyve done a lot work on the park in the past year. Great warm weather place to visit. And there are a few nice trails along the river.

The Kinni is beautiful, great for a hike! Bring keens or something that can go in the water as it is rocky but so clean and clear. Wonderful for wading for sure.

I checked this park out because I was looking for a good place to use my longboard and I found it here! Great trails (super smooth blacktop and cement) throughout the park, pool, playgrounds, and places to gather. You can also check out the Swinging Bridge over the Kinnickinnic River. Great park for all kinds of activities!

I love this park. There have been a lot of great improvements over the last few years. The river area needs to be cleaned up though. There is no excuse for the industrial garbage in the form of broken pipes and metal scraps.

The park is completely under construction. We were able to walk down the path to the river. Falls were pretty...besure to keep exploring. There are hidden falls.

Easy access from road. You have to park in a residential area and the bridge is literally less than a one minute walk from the road. Dogs are welcome. You can walk in the river. Many shallow areas.

Beautiful scenery and semi challenging hike. Even after the floods, the falls still have beauty. Its just a little different looking from before the floods.

Free public parking in the lot and on the street. This is the place you park to drop in for kayaking the lower end of the kinni right after the dam.

Rushing water? Check. Scenic bridge? Check. Quick escape into a lush river valley? Check.A short walk from the parking area takes you to a fabulous pedestrian only bridge. Then bounce off the beaten path and find your way down to the falls. Youll be glad you did!

Its a nice park that they are currently remodeling but getting the falls is still available. however to get to the falls I recommend a pair of waterproof footwear because you will have to walk along some steep train at certain points and cross a narrow and shallow part of the river a few times. overall a little gem in the city of River falls.

I had a serene river walk with easy parking and trail access. This beautiful walk overlooks the lake and dam and meanders along the gentle rapids.

I met Glen once, He was a cool guy. It was 1898 When I first met him. He in the middle of what would become the park smoking the fattest blunt I have ever seen, although Im not convinced it was all weed as when he offered me a hit it smelled as though rather than marijuana it was burning my hopes and dreams. On the first hit the world seemed to pull towards a single point on the horizon stretching as if it were on a rubber canvas. When I turned back to Glen he looked different. He said to me now you see me for what I truly am, the Protector of this forest and all in it. Gaze upon me and feel true bliss. He then went on to speak about sharing his joy with the rest of the world and how he would create a sanctuary for all those who wished to feel safe. And suddenly I was in an open clearing the wind gently caressing my hair and skin, running freely without the trees to stop it. Unfortunately I had gone blind seconds after the blunt, my retinas blasted smooth without a rod or cone to be found, so I was not blessed. But I was able to catch a glimpse of him before my vision was taken. The picture attached is an exact recreation of what Glen the Wood god and founder of Glen Park looked like.

The renovations to the park are progressing. One can walk around it now. Parts of the playground are available. I would not visit it during the working hours with kids or pets. Some earth moving and paving is still going on.

One of my favorite parks in River Falls. They have the river, the bridge, Glen Park pool. It was interesting today I went by as they were doing construction to fix it up and bring it into the 21st century

A pool($), play grounds, tennis court, baseball court(?), scorer field(?), splash pad (new), trails down to the falls, the Swinging Bridge and more! (Due to the construction I am unaware of the state of the sports). Glenn Park is temporarily closed (summer 2019) to add a new pavilion and splash pad.

This is a nice large park in River Falls. Although it is right along the river, there is no real view or easy access here. A large chain link fence separates the park from the river, although there is a walking/biking bridge. The park has lots of playgrounds and picnic tables. It was a nice place for a summer evening picnic.
