From the reviews

It has your standard 400m track and a really nice turf field. Great for most kinds of sports.

★★★★☆ — Gabe, Oct 2016

Not a student of RPI but I'm glad the track is open to the public. However, watch out for the flying soccer balls and have fun with your headache from those blinding lights they use.

★★★★☆ — Crisantechell, Sep 2018

Don't spread the word but...this is a great place to walk on a local track in the evenings. The public has access and getting a Mile in is safe and pleasant.
