Located in scenic and historic Portsmouth, Glen Park is a quiet reminder of the pastoral origins of the town. The Glen Park is the perfect place for family picnics and reunions, company and organization outings, fairs, exhibits, sports groups, and horse, dog, and car shows.

Is Glen Park the place for your next event?  Use of the Park by groups of twenty or more must be comprised of at least fifty percent Portsmouth residents, unless this requirement is waived by the Glen Park Committee, and must be approved by the Glen Park Committee. Please take a look at the following information, and if you are interested in finding out more please come into the Town Clerk's office at Portsmouth Town Hall for an application.

The Pavilion Area has 13 picnic tables located under a protective roof. The kitchen, which is next to the pavilion, contains refrigerators, stoves, a sink with hot water, a microwave oven, and countertop space.

The Event Office offers two separate, small rooms in a building located next to the Pavilion Area, with inside electrical outlets and service windows.
