Brittany Leigh • July 6, 2013Best dog park in the city. Great 4 mile walk around the lake. Is not a loop so you will have to go back around or walk on the street back to your car.
Vanity Fair Agenda • January 30, 2012The park is a favorite place to hike with your dog and see not only some of the best views of the city but some of the best-looking people in the city. Sunsets and sunrises are spectacular.

Farah M. • June 18, 2013Street. Food. Cinema. Amazing experience. When you go just make sure you are prepared for the cold at night. Bring blankets and snacks! The food trucks are not too great. Alcohol is allowed as well.
Sam S. • April 22, 2012I love this park. However, it is very crowded during weekends with kids screaming, birthday parties on the grass and BBQ.. So, if you go for relaxing, avoid weekends.
