The Glen

40.6851,-73.8922

This naturally-occuring glen in the western part of the upper park has a paved walkway around its upper rim and a surprisingly ornate scenic overlook ("the fort"). From inconclusive historic photos, this glen may have contained a pond during the early years of the park (which would explain the overlook) but no trace remains. The glen is now well overgrown with trees and small plants and does not appear to be very carefully maintained or used by local residents.
