Kingston - Post Report Question and Answers
Do you feel that it is safe to walk, run or hike outside? Are there areas where bike riding is possible? What is the availability and safety of outdoor space for exercising? Are these easily accessible?
Some people ran to or from work. Generally not recommended because of crime and traffic (no good sidewalks). Definitely not a biking city. No real green space for exercise that isn’t prohibitively far away. - Nov 2024
Yes, within reason. Government will try to scare you, but most crime here is targeted and foreigners are usually left alone. There are red zones that are posted and obvious, so avoid those areas. I would not recommend biking but there are groups that have organized routes. There are hardly any parks but there are a few garden areas (Hope Gardens) to walk. I run in my neighborhood around Powell and also ran around Cherry Gardens. It's safe. Nothing feels easily accessible here, especially during rush hour. This is a must drive post. - Oct 2024
