Cemeteries
The park is my first location.
My yard. I’ve gotten really into my gardens and hardscaping.
Grocery store, liquor store, basement.
Local arboretum and other gardens are nice. Parks. Boating, if the weather is right for it.
It’s also common for arboretums (and other museums) to have free days once a month, if you want to visit on the cheap.
The arboretum near me is free, so I’m lucky that way. Other gardens have a small fee to enter.
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.
The areas of the city center that aren’t overrun by filthy tourists or the park
Mall. I live close enough to one and I can catch a bus that has a stop close to an entrance. That, and there’s a shop I can go to for things like loose dice for something like 99¢ per diem and new and used manga.

Hiking, socialist work or socialist socializing, friends, that’s mostly it
The woods Parks Mountains Just outside Music Fairs
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
We have an incredible local park with a great greenhouse that has tables you can sit at and read and have coffee.
why all of your answers relatively the same and rather un-unique?
What would you like me to say instead? I don’t give long-winded replies but I do read every comment on my posts.
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.
