If you're staying a bit south of Hakata Station and looking for a nice park to work out, I can recommend Morooka Koen. There's a running track 650 meters long that forms a loop around a lake. You can enjoy a nice mountain view and see the reflection of the sun in the water at sunset while you're burning off calories. Morooka Koen is close to Sasabaru Station, two stops from Hakata Station.

Morooka Park
Running track with mountain views

Especially at sunset you'll have a nice mountain view
One round is 650 meters
In autumn you'll see the trees turning red and yellow
The track is mostly flat but offers some slopes for better exercise
Fukuoka Airport is not far from the park and you can see planes departing and arriving
The track is for walking only, no need to watch out for bikes

This looks amazing, I can't wait to visit Japan now! I love fitness and looking at the pictures I think I can easily motivate myself to go for a run.
