Hi.

A conversation took place between A and B.

A: Where are you going?
B: I'm going to the park to do some jogging.

I wonder the italic sentence is natural.
 
The construction is OK but it's not entirely natural for everyday speech.

I'm going to the park to jog.
I'm going to the park for a jog.
I'm going jogging in the park.
I'm going for a jog in the park.

We don't tend to use "do [some] jogging". We jog or we go for a jog.
 
I like all of emsr2d2's suggestions. But where I come from, "to do some jogging" would also be natural.

So you have a lot to choose from!

I agree with Charlie, it's natural enough in AmE (at least for me). It's a construction I use myself.

It certainly doesn't sound natural in BrE.
