I would totally vote for a dog park, but I'm a little biased. :)
I vote dog park too!
It is a pretty large area. An outdoor shopping area could be outstanding given the views and the current layout. You could keep the integrity of the park with some of its current amenities, but bring it up several notches. I do think that a name change could be helpful in this situation. It should have a purpose for all the downtown residents but also a draw from the rest of the city. That is my two cents worth.
