From the reviews

A hidden gem in the near south side area. Full size, 4-lane, 400m track in great condition with turf field. Turns are not as wide as the Montrose track, but not bad. I feel safe because it's always patrolled by CPD early in the morning. Last week they even took a lap around the track!

★★★★★ — Rutger, Jul 2018

Free to the public, free street parking at the track. The track and turf field are both in good condition. I go with gym friends to the track a few times a year and we do partner bodyweight workouts with dumbbells and running. Check the online Jones Prep sports calendar for availability.

…Lots of broken glass on track. Porta-potty available.
