From 5 to 11 p.m. on weekdays and 2 to 11 p.m. on weekends, you can also grab a brew in the beer garden. Plan your visit for a Wednesday evening to sweat your way through a free yoga class (6 to 8 p.m.) or come on Thursday night for a DJ dance party. The Oval has a packed lineup of events all summer long, so check ou the schedule for what's coming up this week.
