Great track to run on. I really like that it is elevated above a parking lot so there is plenty ty of scenery as you run.

Joseph Yancey Track is the perfect track for all of NYC. Though it has aged gracefully and needs to be repaved, the track is an absolute essential for the neighborhood.

★★★★★ — The, Oct 2023

This is one of my favorite places. I run track for Genesee Valley Harriers Masters division and have run on 3 USA Masters National teams and Yancey Track is where I work out. It gets crowded at times but the Energy here is always electric. It is a Mondo track and a good stable feel to It.
