Safe Places to Walk My Dog?

I’m new to the area after moving from the South, where homelessness wasn’t common, so I’m still getting used to it. Can anyone recommend safe walking trails or parks where I can walk my dog without having to worry about homeless encampments?

The other day at Rock Park, a crazy homeless man started yelling at me and tried to pick a fight for no apparent reason. Today I tried the Truckee River Walk near the Reno Police Department, and someone started tailing me for a while after I passed their group before suddenly pretending to look for something and turning around after I noticed him following me.

I’m not trying to judge anyone, and I know not every homeless person is dangerous. I’m just looking for places where I can feel comfortable walking my dog without constantly looking over my shoulder. Don’t want to be put in a position where I have to defend myself. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
