From the reviews
Austin is fortunate to have this is nice walking/running track in an "indoor" temperature controlled setting we are able to enjoy being active over the winter.
…Runners and walkers go in separate directions around the track for collision control. You can bring own folding chair, but bring something to go under the feet to avoid divets in the turf. Expect to have faux sand beads in your shoes after playing on the field.
Nice facilities, the track and tennis courts are quite nice. Parking can be an issue.
…There's also a newer track and field facility that is really well built and maintained.
