Bring a blanket and a bottle of wine. Sit in the field behind the red bathroom building. Tie a dog to your foot and take a nap.
This track is in pretty good condition compared to others around the city. Beware of flying soccer balls from the infield, and people walking their dogs on the track. Overall a great place to run.
Mish and RobJune 10, 2015Great for people-watching. Kids play football in the middle while people run, rollerblade or push strollers around the track. Then there's the outdoor gym and everyone hanging out on the grass.- One of the best outdoor gyms in Brooklyn. Can be used freely almost year round.
Recently resurfaced (last two years) track perfect for laps or watching people play soccer. Nice picnic spot, too.
Danny TrejoOctober 10, 2015Plug in your head phones and just continue on running without the worries of stopping and checking for cars at every block.
Cynthia FetySeptember 13, 2011Monday nights are popping! The Hip Hop class on the southwest corner plays break beats and Hip Hop classics that will motivate you to go for it on the track!
Manuel DasilvaJuly 12, 2016Manuel Dasilva grew up watching his father work on cars and has always been interested and passionate about all things automotive related.
the track and the adult jungle gym are good. only issue is the children that sometimes get in the way of fast runnerz
Really great for training in the warmer weather. The full scale track is one of the best things in the park.- I run my best times after 10pm; I've nearly taken out a few children on the track - not sure who's guilty but generally I don't think of a track as a playground
Weekdays morning are the best time to run, otherwise Monday & Sunday night are next best.... less soccer.
Rubber track! Great for an early morning run. Shirtless dudes and girls in yoga pants and children playin soccer
Shake off them shoes, shorts, socks, and suspenders. There's turf in there- The turf here is atrocious and there are no bathrooms. Bushwick Inlet Park is a short walk for better and safer for soccer.
Indecent thong man from BK Bridge Park: you may have competition here. Meet topless jort man.
Dan VanderkamJune 26, 2012The _inside_ lane is 400m. A mile is 1609m, so start 30ft back and run 4 laps to do one.
The first time, kick their soccer ball back. The second time it hits you, kick it faaaar away. They should mind their balls.
Enjoy the run but watch out for small children and empty bottles on the track.
Ryan GilmoreJuly 18, 2015Decent place to run, but the kids riding bikes on the track should be euthanized.
Soooo busy on Saturdays and Sundays but fun. Dude sells water for $1.
Carlos SosaMay 3, 2012Its a park Jesus stop complaining... .there are kids here cuz they're with they're parents be mad at the adults with they're bikes
Wanted: Josh "Rocket Boots" Roos. Crimes: 2 counts of Goal Loitering / 1 count of Aggravating Defense.
- EMarch 5, 2011The signs clearly say no bikes or strollers on track but people always ignore it. Wach for distracted "runners" on iPhones trying to get a signal.
All walks of life at this track! Running in circles is never boring here.
Mel ToulouseMarch 30, 2017Why is the soccer field so sad? And dangerous. The lights kept turning on and off while we were playing soccer.
More like an obstacle course of bikes, kids, strollers, balls and ice cream carts.
If you have no precision with kicking soccer balls, keep on running and let someone on the team get it.
On bad weather days you can run with fewer boneheads and babies in your way.
I do not understand why parents think its OK to let their kids ride their bike here.

"Really nice renovated courts in Williamsburg. Note, the courts are very fast (American hard at its best and worst) so choose your balls and strings accordingly."

"Pretty empty in the mornings. It's good in that the track isn't crowded, but can feel a little lonely during a longer workout."

"One of the best parks in Brooklyn to chill out with friends. If you’re sporty the park has baseball & soccer fields, a track and a pool! There’s even a dog area."
