[7][8][9] The southern part of Long Lane is also in Ballyboe Glencar, as is Slieve Sneacht, Glenwood, Meadowbank, Iona Road, Muckish and Beechwood.
The Donegal County Museum is just south of Glencar, as are the nearby Famine Memorial Garden and Letterkenny's main garda station.
Secondary education for young men is provided by St Eunan's College, girls attend the local convent and a vocational school is also available, though each is a significant walking distance from the area.
Glencar Celtic is the local soccer club, with Kevin Rafferty (a panel member on Donegal GAA's 2012 All-Ireland winning team) among their players.
