I haven't been there since the late 80s. A lot of places in the Bay aren't safe to just walk around at night. Nothing may happen to you. But it may not be your wisest move. Exercise caution.

It's relatively safe, but saying that, nowhere is completely safe to walk around at night, especially alone.

Not sure about today. I lived in Balboa Park for six months in 1987. I didn't feel any risk at that time.
