Our go-to place to get some fresh air is North Park. They have a boathouse restaurant, called OTB Bicycle Cafe, with outdoor seating. We usually take Jax to do the five mile loop around the lake. Another spot along the way is called Cadence Clubhouse where you can get something small to eat and a variety of beer.
