If you can get access, school stadia often are good choices. They are fenced in, you don't have to share them, and there is often food under the bleachers
Since I love to play ball and the farther the toss the better (and with a ball, I never need a leash), I like churches the best. Large grassy areas and usually not busy until weekends. Be a good dog though and bring bags to clean up after yourself or you will lose privledges & friends!
It's not very close, but there is a free fenced in bark park in Bloomington. We drive all the way out there because we don't think it fair to have to pay. It's a lovely place with plenty of room and a big creek with small falls to swim in!
