A couple dudes asking for change isn't shady. There are other areas of the city I am legitimately worried to be alone in, Gore Park is not one of them. My 5'3" partner is not afraid of Gore Park. Maybe it's because Gore has a rep you remember that she wouldn't since she's newer to Hamilton, but nothing about Gore is worrisome.
If you look at crime data maps, Gore Park and the surrounding 3 blocks haven't had a crime other than a car robbery in the last 7 months, while the downtown has been quietest, which J know because we go for daily walks at 10:30PM around this exact area. Perhaps your perception of Gore Park area is one where it's reputation precedes it. In reality it is an incredibly safe neighborhood. I have 5 female friends, two of which live alone in this area, and have no issues or worries.
