From the reviews
…There are about 4 soccer and football fields and one major race track. I really lived the race track. Olympic standard. The fields were very inviting as well. If only I had a team to play soccer with in Chicago.
I really loved this track because of quality, safe and is not crowded ! Also there is bathroom it's just next to it. And it's freeeeeeee
Very beautiful track! Many great things about it, and the area itself, which sits in between Montrose Harbor & Montrose Beach, which are two key landmarks on the beloved Northside of Chicago.
This is a beautiful park with a fantastic track surface that's only about a year old. If you're looking to run on an actual 400m track with a safe surface, this is it!
