From the reviews
…You can find groups of kids participating in their planned sport sponsored by the city, people walking and running around the track, some using the gym apparatus, others are taking in the views while sitting on one of the ample seating provided around the track.
…It has a massive track, soccer field, outdoor pool (open in the summer), handball, rockwall and basketball courts. There's a small area where you can do some calisthenics, lots of benches to sit at around the track as well as a few seating areas.

Great Park that not only has a baseball field, soccer field, handball courts, basketball courts and a swimming pool open in the summer months, but also has a track for running and exercise equipment for resistance training.
