⏱️ great for intervals 2 mentions

“It's close by, very convenient for a nice workout, and you get a beautiful introduction to the Chinese culture as they meditate, exercise, and play here with the kids.”

🧘 rarely crowded 2 mentions

“The track itself is not busy with runners but there are a lot of people around the track in the field, and walkers.”

From the reviews

The track isn’t 200m or 400m; it is under 200m and should be around 170m. Couldn’t find any info online about the exact size. The track itself is not busy with runners but there are a lot of people around the track in the field, and walkers. There are also a lot of pigeons and some homeless people.
