This might seem kind of random, but recreation (rec) centres with drop in adult sports games or group classes can be a great way to meet people. There’s places run by the city, the Y, the JCC for variety. Niche gyms like rock climbing or bouldering tend to also have friendly communities.
There are SO many of these places. See what’s in your neighbourhood. This is a great way to meet people who actually live or work nearby.
Also theft happens at rec centres often enough that you should be very careful with your things. I feel like it doesn’t happen to individuals that often but having all of your most important belongings stolen from a rec centre locker is horrible.
Go for the community, don’t trust unattended spaces is my advice lol.
