Glenmere Blvd. near 16th Street, by UNC

Glenmere Park has been Greeley's gathering spot for over a century — a 15-acre park laid out in the early 1900s with winding paths, mature shade trees, a gazebo, a playground, and a pond that draws ducks, geese, turtles, and the neighbors who come to watch them. There's a small fishing pier at the end of Glenmere Road; the pond holds largemouth bass, catfish, crappie, and bluegill.

No parking lot — grab street parking along Lakeside Drive, Glenmere Boulevard, or 14th and 17th Avenues. Early morning and sunset are the quiet hours; weekends fill up fast.
