"Welles Park, Lincoln Square. Set in the heart of Lincoln Square is Welles Park and it doesn’t cost a thing! Here you can hang out on a 15-acre lawn with big trees, ballfields, a gazebo, sand volleyball court, 2 playgrounds, 3 tennis courts, horseshoe pits and plenty of space to call your own. We like coming here to enjoy some time outdoors, lay on a blanket and watch the clouds go by or have a picnic and play cards with friends. People watching is at its best here, especially when the older gents have gathered for their weekly game of bocce ball. You might even see an outdoor concert, live storytelling or performances being held at the gazebo. There's a cute little crepe stand on the North end of the park, along Sunnyside Ave, open April-October, 7 days a week!The hot dog guy is sometimes there—you can find him on the South side of the park.along Montrose Ave.Welles Park is also home to the Square Roots festival, an annual summer outdoor/indoor music fest in July with all the things you look forward to like craft beer, corn dogs and snow cones."
