Runner Summary

The WPA-era grandstands give this Riverdale track real character, and the rubberized surface holds up well despite heavy cross-country use. No lighting makes it a daytime-only destination, and school teams are frequently on the track on weekday afternoons in fall and spring. Weekend and early-morning sessions are reliably open.
