Excellent walking path, large dog park. Wide open fields for sitting, relaxing, playing frisbee, great little playgrounds for kids, baseball fields, plenty of parking. My favorite park to walk my dog.

It will always be Commonwealth to me. You can get decent seats on the secondary market for a reasonable price. Tailgating atmosphere is fun.
