Bryan Park, Dorey Park, Echo Lake, Three Lakes, all have wooded trails with varying maintenance levels but all pretty easy, and they all have a nice flat circle around a lake if you don't feel like going into the woods.

There are definitely sections that will be more difficult for you to access, but I'd say 70% at least is accessible. It's worth noting that there are several retirement communities and nursing homes very close to Lewis Ginter, and they have a lot of elderly volunteers and employees. A lot of their frequent visitors have mobility difficulties, either from age or other reasons, and they have mostly wider pathways than a lot of similar places I've seen.

There are some symptoms that are never recognized in people with darker skin because specific-colored rashes or other skin issues may look different on different skin tones, but most medical school examples will have only shown what it looks like on fair skin. A close friend of mine was recently diagnosed with an immune disorder characterized by rashes in a specific shape/color, and she is less likely to receive timely diagnoses and treatment because most medical providers do not know what other symptoms to look for if they can't see the rash early on. So it was recommended to her, by her primary care doctor, that she look for a specialist with a skin tone similar to her own.
