yes. It is safe to walk the esplanade at night. It’s much more dangerous to walk through an intersection than a park. And that’s not a pedestrian safety joke - the vast majority of violent crime and muggings happens in non-park settings.

That's a statistic which proves nothing, like "Most traffic accidents take place within 50 miles of home, so you can drive like a maniac when you're more than 50 miles away." The vast majority of time people spend outside is in non-park settings, so it's not surprising that most crimes take place there.
