Where is a safe place someone can go to walk for 30 mins?

What's are some good, safe places for someone to just go for a walk for 30 mins and chill out?

​

I'm a Newark native but very, very sheltered. I've been wanting to go out more and just have a place I can walk for a while at without worrying that I'm entering a bad neighborhood (which, ironically, I live in, but I don't walk around here).

Check out branch Brook park. Not sure where in the city you are but the light rail has a stop for the park. It’s the next to last stop with penn station at ur back.

Independence park in Ironbound. It's shaped like a rectangle, and the sidewalk around the outside of the park is about a half mile loop. It gets lots of walkers, and in the summer the park is especially popular. Take a blanket and read a book under a big tree

The part of Branch Brook Park that's north of Bloomfield Avenue and south of Heller Avenue is really nice. It goes in kind of a circle and the east side of the circle is nicer. The walkway there is really well made and I see lots of walkers, joggers and exercisers whenever I go. Plus you pass some really nice open fields too and can stop and relax on one of the benches to take a break.
