From the reviews
Great quarter mile track that appears to be open to public every day. The track material is synthetic light cushion and rarely have it ever been more than a handful of people using track at same time ( at least during Sunday mornings).
This track is open to the public, and is an awesome place to run in the evenings.
This is Tufts University's track for various meets. It is always in excellent condition; sunny and bright. I use this track in my daily walks and the cushion on the track field is so easy on the feet.
