Unfortunately I get off work at 11pm and not much is open that late so I rarely go out.
Mountain biking, hiking, skiing, or golfing.
Life outdoors is so enjoyable and cathartic.
My yard. I’ve gotten really into my gardens and hardscaping.
To my back yard, where I light up the firepit, and drink whiskey
gotta find hella spots in your city to chill with yourself or someone. Also finding some cool places to drive around, go shopping at random small trinket stores or smoke
Mountain biking, beach, rock climbing, climbing gym, snowboarding, trail run, photo walk, games night, camping … I like where I live!
We have an incredible local park with a great greenhouse that has tables you can sit at and read and have coffee.
Beach.
Gym and dog parks.
Hiking, socialist work or socialist socializing, friends, that’s mostly it
Nice.
If you want something more consistent join a group especially one organized around a common activity. When I moved to a new city I joined a local game stores weekly DnD game. It was $5 per week and we played in person every week. It was the same rotating cast so it was fun to meet the same people.
I just joined a running group. While a few are crazy distance runners who do multiple marathons a year, including those who do multiple ultra-marathons a year, there are more casual people like me. Its great to exercise every week and then we get to chat afterwards when we go out for food. These are common in most cities and there might even be more than 1 to try out.
The great things about these groups is you can skip a week without any issue and then just join back in. A shared interest allows you to chat about that as a jumping off point. Also some of these are a wide age range which is interesting to see people in different stages of life.
Great idea about joining local groups. There’s an adult kickball group in my area that has a lot of members/teams.
They are generally sports related but anything will do. Its great since its weekly you just have standing plans with the same people. Also people go there specifically to meet people and there is an established group
Cemeteries
Political organising and the occasional house party/social event. Sometimes I just go for a walk/wander about, have found some interesting places that way.
Parks. Not every state / city has good ones. We have awesome parks where I live. Not so much when we went to visit my family last month.
