10 Safest Places to Run in New York City

Central Park

Of course the most popular and famous park in New York City is Central Park. It is a favorite of runners who live in the area. There are trails and loops or you can take the terrain anywhere in the 843 acre park. This park is so large that you may forget you are in the middle of New York City. If you live close to this park and you want to change things up, but still stay close to home, you’ll be happy to know that there are a few options when you go jogging here.

If you run the outside perimeter of the park it is six miles. Or you can take the one and a half mile run around Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir off of Fifth Avenue and Central Park West, between 86th Street and 96th Street.
