From the reviews

…A small part of a track is under maintenance (first week of Nov '22), still very much usable.

★★★★★ — Desikan, Nov 2022

Love heading over to the track for a good walk/jog! It was under construction over the summer, and the update is beautiful and feels super supportive of joints. Note that no cleats are allowed.

★★★★★ — Mikael, Sep 2023

A really great outdoor track. The track surface is nice and there are floodlights in the evening. On the weekends it can get busy with soccer players on the green. Ive never felt like Im constantly trying to avoid other people on the track.
