Glen Park, <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong>, California<br />

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<br />

Glen Park is a small neighborhood in <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong>, California. It is located at the<br />

southern edge of the hills in the interior of the city, to the south of Diamond Heights and<br />

Noe Valley, west of Bernal Heights, and east of Glen Canyon Park. The intersection of<br />

Diamond Street and Bosworth Street is generally considered the center of the<br />

neighborhood. Because of Glen Park's small size and mom and pop stores, restaurants,<br />

and saloons, the neighborhood is often described as having a village atmosphere. The<br />

neighborhood is served by a small storefront branch of the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong> Public Library.<br />

[1] Many residents have noticed the beginnings of a change in the atmosphere of the<br />

neighborhood, possibly starting at a fire which burnt down the Diamond Super grocer and<br />

market in the late 1990s. Since then many "trendy" new stores have moved in, and<br />

recently with the construction of a large supermarket/office/apartment complex in the lot<br />

where Diamond Super once stood many of the smaller stores which once defined the<br />

neighborhood are closing down. It has been speculated by some residents that Glen Park<br />

will soon shift from being a predominantly working-class family area to a more yuppie<br />

demographic.<br />

Transportation<br />

Interstate 280 and the Glen Park BART station are both located at the southern edge of<br />

the neighborhood. Glen Park is served by the Muni bus lines 23, 26, 35, 44 and 52 plus<br />

the J Church Muni Metro line.
