From the reviews
Update with 5 stars, extremely satisfied with the brand new track. No more bloated track when rains
The $5.25 million project reconstructed the running track and synthetic turf field, and installed an adult fitness area. Please follow the track rules. Walkers on the outside lane. Wheels of any kind prohibited. Thank you!
As a beginner runner, I couldn’t have asked for a better place to start than the running track at Juniper Valley Park. The track surface is smooth and well-maintained, which makes it easy on the joints, something I really appreciate as I build up my endurance.
…It was getting dark, and the only option left was to ask a group of officers who were standing by the running track. When we asked the officers if they had a lug wrench that we could borrow, two of the officers walked with us to the minivan to see what we needed.
