From the reviews

…It is where I train to run Track and Field. It features a 400m mondo track and has a really good feel. The facility gets crowded between 2:30 to 7 pm so I get there early or a little late. It opens till 10pm.

★★★★★ — Anthony, Feb 2018

Awesome track and field, bathrooms are available, but there is no shade what so ever. My kids had field day and the day was ended early due to the sun. Amazing view of the Yankees' stadium.

★★★★☆ — Moises, Jun 2022

…There is a football field that doubles as a soccer field, there are three baseball fields, there are 8 basketball hoops, the official running track, a workout park for performing calisthenics and the amazing views.
