    Very nice nature park with trails to walk. A lot of birds, squirrels, and chipmunks running around. When I went there was nobody else there so it was very quiet. There is a house in the park that apparently can be rented out for events. It does border other people's property and an elementary school and they are visible from the trails in certain areas.

    Beautiful little park! There are way more trails than it seems from the road, and you could easily spend 30 minutes walking them, more at a leisurely pace. The trails are neat and wide dirt paths, with the occasional root and moderate hill. The fall foliage is beautiful!

    Rented the house, and it was horrible. Their are stains all over the carpet area, parking was cramped, graffiti on doors, and people who said they were renting the place stopping by to view the house inside is unacceptable when we were having a ceremony.

    Lovely little place with a small trail and a historic old home that is now used for events. Safe and is very clear of litter. Nature is the vibe here! It's a location stop on the Indiana bird watching trail.

    OMG My heaven on earth 🌏 I bring my family and my dogs to this park every afternoon and enjoy the trails, it seems to never get old😍 After we are done playing with the dogs-we go ahead and set up our little picnic area and lay some blankets on the awesome grass, i think that i cant stress enough how relaxing and quiet is here, I recommend it 😍

    I love this park! It's a small park, but its really pretty year-round. We rented out the house for our daughter's graduation. Would definitely rent again.

    Trails are great my dog loves coming here for walks and I really enjoy it too. Peaceful and quiet, it's a great place for a relaxing trail walk/hike.

    Beautiful in the fall leaves. Fun fun fun for my puppy to explore. I wish it had more signs indicating where the trails begin, perhaps mile markers too.

    Very small wooded area with about 3/4 mile of winding trails that rear up into Glenn's Valley Elementary and another residential neighborhood. Great place to get away from the commotion of the city and wind down with a nice walk or jog on the trails.

    Easy hiking. Not too much for our little dog. walk thru the woods

    The Indiana version of the Amityville House. Glensvalley Horror. 🤩🥰 I love the nedtslgia of the old building and it is I think one of only two antique woods designations in Marion County. Amazing hilly trails and beautiful views everywhere. One of the best in Indy.

    It has natural woods with dirt trails to walk and areas to picnic. I enjoy bringing our dogs to walk here as it is much quieter.

    I took my dogs there and let them run the trails and they absolutely love it. There are a lot of people that walk there so you have to have a leash but if there's a moment where they can run the trails free they absolutely lose control.

    Small but interesting. Lots of wild flowers here in the spring and several kinds of mushrooms.

    My girls.scout troop likes to hike here. Its a shot hike but works to burn off aome energy!

  • 4/5 LeChelle H. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a nice spot for a trek through the woods with a kiddo or pet, as well as a gorgeous historical home open for events or photo ops!

  • 5/5 Debbie T. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little hike. About 1 mile long if you do the whole thing once through.

  • 4/5 Dianna S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice hike with my family. We did have to ask someone on how to make it back out as there are a lot of forks in the path. There was an area that looked like someone hung out for a while and then left their beer bottles and paper trash. :( Be sure to bring mosquito spray.

    Nice little hidden gem park in west Greenwood. Probably 1.5ish miles of trail through the woods. Couldn’t find a trail map but it’s pretty doable to orient yourself. Some nice picnic tables situated on a hill which would be good for a picnic
