And I'm afraid because I just know everyone and their mother will be there. I want to be outside too because it's a beautiful day, but it's difficult to accept.

My GF wants to go to the park
- Thread starter ExhaustedWalrus
- Start date
Why do you have to go to the city park? Why not go to a state park/county park and take a walk on the trail.
Funny enough that's what I'm doing in an hour.

Go, and of it's so busy you won't be able to stay safely away from other people, leave! It will be good for your mental health to spend the day outside.
it should be fine as long as you are able to keep your distance from people...if its' too crowded to get your own little area you can always go home.
I'm not your keeper but I will advise you not to jog while wearing a mask and maybe even not jog at all outside if possible.

Wear a mask, keep your distance, wash your hands.

What We Know About Your Chances of Catching the Virus Outdoors (Published 2020)
A stir-crazy nation wonders: Is it safe to stroll on the beach in a deadly pandemic? How about a picnic in the park? Or coffee with a friend at an outdoor table? The risk is in the details.
Ideally, don't go. But is you are, wear masks, don't touch any public fixtures, keep a social distance away from everybody. You should be fine at that point. Take some hand sanitizer and wash your hands vigorously afterwards.
Sorry but these kinds of posts are ignorant. Yes, it is that hard to confine yourself to a couple rooms for months on end. Not everyone has a big house and a backyard all to their own. People have a need to get out, and eventually people are going to do that no matter what. That's why we need guidelines from experts on how to eventually go about it.
Honestly I've been finding people in all of the spots that I normally go to that are quiet and off the trail.
I think a lot of people have that idea right now. But still, go try it. If there's too many people leave, there's definitely going to be places where there will be less people than others. Also wear masks. Be safe and responsible.
The way I see it is this:
We all need to go outside and get exercise for our mental health and physical well-being. We can reduce this, but we can't stop entirely. Saying this... knowing that many other people are going to be idiots ranging from flaunting rules to outright ignoring them, I think those of us who do care about our impact here can just be as sensible as we can.
That might mean going to the park and seeing too many people around and deciding to just come back another day. Maybe take a slightly longer walk on the way home to make up for the loss of park time, you still got exercise but you also made a sensible call.
There are ways to handle this where you don't become part of the problem, but don't let anyone tell you to "just say indoors" when you're talking about simple out door exercise.
See above, this is not reasonable in any way.

I go to the park all the time. If it's crowded, I leave and go walk a backstreet that no one is there. If it's not, I keep my distance on the occasion I do come across someone.
The risks are not great to just try it.

Just go and stay away from people. If it's packed don't stay. It's not rocket science. Getting out is not a bad thing if done responsibly. Some posters here would have you think you need to become a hermit.
It's perfectly reasonable. You don't need to go to the park, it's a luxury and it's not one worth risking your life over. And you can exercise just fine at home, if that's your reason for going out.
No, it's really not. Outside exercise is recommend by experts because it is so important to our physical and mental well-being. You can go to the park and be perfectly within all guidelines if you're sensible. You're wrong.
Yeah I'm honestly kind of surprised at that response. Practice all the things you would already do and it's fine. Staying inside altogether is not healthy unless you're in a dense area and your only park options are city parks I guess. In that case I may be dissuaded depending on crowds.
But if you go outside and do anything you will catch the virus according to some here.
As other have said, do it responsibly. I've been going out on walks either early in the morning or late at night, and have been walking through the local park but not sitting down or lingering there. Avoid other folk and just be rational about it. Even at the park remember not to touch the railing, benches etc. Who knows when the last time was when they were cleaned or how many people have touched it.
The people telling you to stay home are probably the same people who would stay home regardless of if there was a pandemic...
Have any credible, medical professionals made the suggestion to not leave your home at all, for any reason, even to go for a walk, otherwise you are going to die?
