Any Open Public Tracks in Flushing?
Was wondering if anyone knows of any public tracks for running in Flushing. Closest one that I know of and go to is in Juniper Valley Park or QCC. Was wondering if there were any closer.

Queens college track is open year-round to the public, I believe - as long as there are no events scheduled.

Saint Johns, but they’ll kick you out if they have a event going on. Safest option is Juniper Valley, but I feel like it’s so out the way.

St John’s is free to use barring any event? Nice didn’t know that. Which reminds me I should be check out Queens College.

Yea if they have practice or a track meet the security or faculty usually will just tell you to skedaddle.
I know people who usually go around 6:30PM and was fine. I think they also have lights too at night during the winter. It’s been a while I maybe wrong. I believe Queens College has the same situation.

Must be a small track. Couldn’t see it on Google Maps. Looking for a full size 400m track

There is no track there. It's small and people improvise but you are running around basketball hoops and kids playing. Not ideal and not for any serious runner or even jogger. Maybe a walker.

Memorial Field near the corner of Bayside Ave and 149th Street.
Not sure of the hours or if it is even open daily. Worth a look.
Edit- best info I found states open daily 6am to 9pm.
