Burke Park is a dirt and crushed gravel trail system on a small mesa on the east side of Bozeman. The mesa provides a vantage point with views of several mountain ranges circling around the city, and there is plenty of open space for dogs and kids to run around (though there are signs asking users to control dogs with a leash). The trails range from wide, road width trails to singletrack, but the vertical gain and loss on the park trails is minimal. Pete's Hill is the name of the lookout point with benches on the most northern side of the park. This is a popular park for lots of different trail users, and it's likely you'll encounter others out on a hike.
