Glen Park, also sometimes called University Park, is the most populous neighborhood in Gary, Indiana.

The neighborhood is often divided into Glen Park East and Glen Park West, on the respective sides of Broadway. Within Gary, Glen Park borders on Black Oak to the west and Midtown and Pulaski to the north; beyond Gary, it adjoins Hobart, Merrillville, and unincorporated Calumet Township. As of 2000, the neighborhood had a population of 25,454, approximately a quarter of Gary's total population. In terms of race, as of 2000 Glen Park was 86% African-American, 9% white, and 5.5% Hispanic.
==History==
Glen Park predates the founding of Gary by two decades. It was platted in 1894 by Chicagoans William Reissig and Charles Williams, near the intersection of the Nickel Plate Railroad and Joliet and Northern Indiana Railroad ("Joliet Cutoff"). A post office was established in 1898. The community was originally named "Kelly," but had come to be called "Glen Park" by 1900.
After the city of Gary was founded in 1906, the county built a bridge across the Little Calumet to extend Broadway to Glen Park. The portion of Glen Park north of 45th Avenue was annexed shortly thereafter, and the southern part followed in 1926. The first school in Glen Park was built in 1909, and the first church in 1911. Streetcars along Broadway allowed millworkers to commute from Glen Park to the Gary Works at the northern end of Broadway. The area was strictly segregated until the 1960s, with blacks not allowed to cross the Little Calumet bridge except for work.
