Gateway Park has fields picnic facilities that are very nice, but it is also home to the "Fort Woof" Dog Park, which is awesome. I live in a duplex that does not have a fenced yard, so my dog spends most of his time cooped up in the house. The dog park has plenty of space for him to run around, as well as opportunities for him to meet other dogs, so he doesn't feel like so much of an "only child" all the time. The park is divided for separation of big dogs and little dogs if the owners don't want their little dogs (like mine) to be intimidated by the big dogs. It's a great (free!) activity for everyone.
