Bronx Park

In the Bronx, one of the safe places to run is Bronx Park, famous for hosting the Bronx Zoo. This area is a great place to run because you can run near the zoo and its animals. The natural surroundings could make you forget you are in the city. There are many types of wildlife and plant life to keep you occupied as you run and it is a very relaxing outdoor space in the midst of the city.

The New York Botanical Garden is also located in Bronx Park. You might also encounter gorgeous views of the Bronx River and Twin Lakes. One option is to run the edge of the 718 acre park between Bronx Park East and Pelham Parkway North and Duncomb Avenue.
