What people say, in short
Visitors recommend Laurelhurst Park, and one praises its beautiful trees and architecture and calls it a nice walk near good neighborhoods. Several point to summer events in the park, including Friday comedy nights and Thursday concerts, though one says the concert series may have ended; others suggest a walk, a picnic or pickleball. Visitors disagree about workout gear: one says it lacks bodyweight equipment, another is pretty sure there are chin-up and dip bars, though not placed together, and one could not find the equipment they had heard about.
