Glen park is one of only a couple places in the city where you can see a natural creek. Part of the creekbed has been restored to native plants. This large park probably had a too steep and rocky canyon to be fully developed, and you can often find a bird here that you won't see anywhere else in the city. Habitats include riparian, eucalyptus forest, grassland, scrub, and rocky outcrops.
