From the reviews

Honestly I'm not sure how one leaves a helpful review for a track and field complex, I'll give it a shot... The seats are hard plastic folding seats, common in baseball stadiums - They're pretty comfortable.

★★★★★ — Randy, Apr 2021

A very good part of our community. The track and field activities / football stadium, Joe Martin Stadium, the Aquatic Center and the bike track and skateboard park come together to make a very nice place that meets many needs within the community

★★★★★ — Gail, Oct 2019

…Great place to run stairs or on the track, or frisbee or whatever.
