As you can see from this video, the best word to define all that Gallery Park in The Glen has to offer is simply: Incredible!
Gallery Park Signage
The 45 acre lake is surrounded by winding trails, never displaying a complete view of the water from any single point. The fingers of land and bays off the lake create a domain for exploring and recreation. Shallow overhangs and trees submerged provide fish environment, while partially submerged trees provide a place for birds and turtles.
See the sign for Gallery Park to the left showing the size of the lake and the surrounding amenities.
The Fish are Biting in Gallery Park
All day long you see many fishermen pondering what fish they will try to catch next. The lake has been stocked with Walleye, Northern pike, largemouth bass, channel catfish, fathead minnows, green sunfish, and bluegill.
The lake and surrounding area provide habitat for wildlife such as great blue herons, crayfish, bullfrogs, snapping turtles, northern water snakes, and dragonflies.

Looks and sounds very nice and relaxing. Can you provide any demographics on the residents in The Glen? Also are there any golf courses in the immediate area, I like to whoop up on my buddies every now and then.
Thank you. Nice service you are providing.
Thanks for your comments. The Glen Club is probably the best course in the area if you don’t mind paying $150
Gallery Park is absolutely awesome. Although we live in Glenview (not the Glen) we are at the Glen and Gallery Park all the time. Watching the birds near Lake Glenview is spectacular – like being on vacation somewhere exotic!
Thanks so much for your comment. Hope to see you there
Wonderful area! Love to try out the golf in the area. Maybe Mr. Neuman will take me golfing!
Thanks for your comments about golf. My last name is Newman and The Glen Club is expensive. I will take care of the golf if you take care of the practice range.
