Glenway Woods

Highlight • Forest

Glenway Woods is a beautiful, yet somewhat hidden, gem that spans over 10 acres of land. Although it doesn't currently have a park classification, locals have created a few mountain biking trails that wind through the densely wooded area. It's located along the Southwest Commuter Bike Path, providing a scenic route with a touch of nature shaded by the trees.
