Citadelpark, popular gay cruising park. - Citadel Park
Concerning safety, I would say use your common sense. Don't go too late that's when some fool going out in the Overpoortstraat area and running out of money might think that robbing a gay in the park is a financial solution. The presence of a few old men on one of the benches near the lake is good for some social control. Anyhow, an hour in this park is better for your mental health than staring for hours on the screen of your mobile device while searching for unreachable dates. The Citadel Park is not a safe place to visit.
Never try to do it on your own, but alway go in group. I might see like a nice place but dont get fooled. It had quite high criminality.

Specially when its dark. After 30 min i was touched and grabbed by 3 different dark guys. Not a safe place IMO. Spending a full week in Ghent allowed me to have a more in depth look at this provincial but dazzling city. The main park is one of these places I considered worth a study. I was there three times and found the first two evening visits a weird symbiosis of health chasing men and women jogging along the curving paths, groups of students doing their annual initiation rituals throwing eggs, flour and less describable stuff, walking like zombies or imitating the local ducks and last but not least, gay men cruising the museum area and the upper lake.
On both week nights, the weather was lovely and felt like the last days of an indian summer. On my last nightly visit however, temperature had decreased a lot and there was hardly anyone using or enjoying the Citadelpark in the ways I described already. Even worse ;- The serenity was disturbed a bit by a never stopping herd of students with their trolley cases using the park as the most efficient shortcut between the railway station and the Blandijn student quarter. But apart from that, the Citadelpark stays the best choice for a healthy green walk.
This is a nice park, very close to the station.
So combined visit are easy. Also "'t Kuipke" is in the parc which is a facility that is used for sportive events and concert. Skip to main content.

Not all Grindr users are addicted and depressed, of course. Some users I interacted with seem to use Grindr in a healthy, positive way. Why do so many of these men turn to Grindr to begin with? One year-old user told me that the only places he can find gay men are clubs and Grindr, and both are hypersexualized. The cultures of both intimidate him. The year-old is afraid of rejection, and Grindr shields him from the pain of in-person turndowns. His relationships, he says, start with casual sex on Grindr.
They first meet at 2 am for a hookup. Then the next step may be drinks. Another user told me he downloaded the app hoping to find a husband. The mental health professionals I spoke to are seeing problematic Grindr use in their clinics. And there is little published guidance on how to help those who are struggling. Doctors I spoke to say the best available tools for treating problematic Grindr use are the ones they use in general sex addiction treatment.
Citalopram, a common antidepressant, was shown in one small study to be helpful with sex addiction in gay men. Naltrexone, a drug commonly used for other compulsive behaviors, may work as well. For more extreme cases, patients could request hormonal implants that turn off testosterone signaling, making sexual cravings less intense. However, even these treatments have modest empirical support at best , and none have been studied for hookup app use specifically. Shane Kraus, the director of the behavioral addictions clinic at Bedford Veterans Hospital and an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, says the most promising treatment for problematic Grindr use is likely talk therapy techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy CBT.
CBT can teach patients to engage in other behaviors that are more productive though often more difficult and time-consuming than Grindr to help them feel loved or supported. Another psychotherapeutic technique known as acceptance and commitment therapy ACT can help teach patients how to better tolerate the feeling of being alone without logging on to Grindr. The dynamics of Grindr, though, are complicated, and it can take time to work through all the angles. Are you self-soothing anxiety? Are you addicted to sex? Have you lost interest in your monogamous relationship?
Ultimately, Kraus explains that therapy can help clarify these kinds of thoughts and feelings, and lead to insights that bring about a healthy change. Grindr did not respond to our request for comment on this piece. As we continue to fight to bring gay relationships into the mainstream, we need to keep an eye on Grindr and how it both reflects and affects gay culture.
