Local High School Tracks

Are any of the local high school tracks open to the public? I live in the McGee's area and I am looking for a nice flat place to jog.

 

i was wondering the same thing. We pay taxes on these schools, can we use the tracks??

 

Try calling the schools to find out.

 

And then let the rest of us know

 

I don't know - but I LOVE your av! :cheers:

 

Doesn't the park on Amelia Church Rd have a path? Is it concrete or dirt?

 

It's asphalt.

The Clayton High track was open to the public the last I knew. That was about a year ago. I would imagine it still is.

WJHS probably isnt. I think they lock the gates to the grounds.
The new school on Polenta will be done soon. Maybe it will be open.

 

I know Ms. Honeycutt said using the tennis courts at WJHS was fine, but to park outside the gate and walk to the court as not to get locked out. I don't think you can get down on the track though. I think it stays locked. But you could walk the parking lot perimeter at West and I bet that's a 1/2 mile or more.

 

Thanks everyone!
I'll try to do some further investigation this week and get back to y'all.

 

I was doing a little online searching for bike trails a week or so ago and found something that probably is a bit out of range for me, but you might like to try. There is a rail trail (old railroad line converted to a running/walking/biking path) down in Harnett County, I think. I haven't checked it out yet, but since McGee's isn't that far from Benson, that might be a good place to try. From what I read its very flat and has finely-crushed gravel on the path.

 

The small track at McGee's Elementary is 7 1/2 laps equal a mile. I like it because the kids can play while I walk/run.
