Dogs can be brought here but they must be cleaned up after and kids will love all the playground equipment that is here. The SFMYC Boathouse is in the park as well. This is a museum that shares the history of boats and the many uses for them. The Dutch Windmill is on the west side of the park. It's a historic landmark that has been there since 1903.
