Trails and parks are generally quite safe. However, you should practice basic precautions such as always being aware of your surroundings and letting someone know where and when you are walking, hiking, or running, especially if you go alone.

Trailhead theft. Lower the probability that this rare event will happen to you by locking all car doors, tightly closing all car windows, and taking all valuables with you.

Potential threats from humans. Vagrancy and drug use occur in some urban parks. Stick to the trails and you are unlikely to encounter a homeless encampment. If you do come upon one, watch for human waste, needles, and other hazardous materials.

Despite these warnings, most areas are quite safe. Because these trails are often in urban areas, you should of course always exercise common sense and trust your judgment about a particular park or trail based on the current conditions.
