As a new owner, I highly advise you read over the many wonderful stickies we have on the forum. Dog parks are a big no for this breed (and really for dogs in general).

As for the off leash recall, you'll need a long LONG leash/line and some treats. Basically you'd go about it the same way you taught him indoors. Call him sounding very excited, if he comes give him a treat and lots of praise, if he doesn't, tug the leash to get him moving. Keep in mind no dog's recall is 100%, so if there's something highly chaseable (stray cat, rabbit, squirrel, as he gets older loose dogs will be a concern) and he goes after it, I hope you can run fast.
