If you take the Kyoto Karasuma subway north to the last station, Kokusaikaikan, there is a large park called Takaragaike Park (koen) which has hills for hiking, a lake with rowboats and paddle boats and the Kyoto police equestrian center (usually open until 4:30) if you like to look at horses.

While you may be looking at horses, I can guarantee that horse is looking at you. Brings up the old question “Who is the watcher, and who is the watched?” (^-^)
