Labor Park is a large free park in the heart of downtown, dominated by a giant red football-shaped landmark that has become a city symbol, plus gardens, ponds and a hilltop. Locals come to stroll, exercise and view spring flower displays. It is a relaxed green pause in the city center, free to enter with only optional paid rides or the observation tower.
