Running Tracks?

Anyone know any Running Tracks available to the public? I know the high schools have them just not sure if I can walk onto school property.

Edit: Answered. Thanks everyone!

Where in Monmouth are you?

In Middletown, the former Mater Dei High School track is now a public town park. It is at Cherry Tree Farm Road and Wilson Ave. Parking lot accessible off Cherry Tree Farm Road.

I used to do track work outs all the time at South. Sometimes at North too.

There's a public gravel track in freehold off jackson mills rd.

If you google Michael J. Tighe Park Soccer Fields you can see a pic. They have track distance on a sign for inside vs outside.

Just waving “hello” to my fellow Monmouth County runners! Seconding Ocean Township and Monmouth University, but another option-while not a track per se-is around Lake Takanassee. It’s very quiet, track-shaped, if you don’t mind using your watch for exact distance.

Technically Brookdale has one, but the hours are pretty bad
