Red Oak
Looks like a shade leaf (very broad) of Red Oak (Quercus rubra; check against leaf photo in bottom row of linked gallery from Wildwood Park.

 
Yes, thanks,
John, I agree. Wildwood is where I found the leaf.
Do you have any idea about the galls?

 
cynipid wasps...
...would be a good guess, but that's a pretty general answer. I'll defer to Charley Eiseman.

 
Yep,
Charley will figure them out:)
