Until the early 1960's Port Jack Glen was a small, undeveloped valley at the bottom of Royal Avenue. The area had before 1892 been owned by The Douglas Bay/Howestrake Estate but in that year it was given to Douglas Corporation and was only acquired by Onchan Commissioners in 1959.
The Glen has now been landscaped with good paved paths, bridges, steps, iron railings and a small planted area.
