I particularly appreciate the small-dog off-leash area, as my pup is easily intimidated by larger dogs. For non-dog-related activities, check out the Rat City Rollergirls’ monthly bruisers, the Sound Garden, or stroll along the lake. In the summer, it’s a great place to take your monkeys for a swim—free, less crowded than public beaches or Greenlake, and parking is ample.
