Campbell Community Center Track

Besides Vasona this is my favorite place to run. It can get pretty crowded some nights, but you can’t complain about others getting their exercise. Also being around all the other people makes me feel safe.

I really enjoy having this so close to home. Tracker track has a nice, padded surface, lights in the evening (until 10pm), and plenty of parking.
If you’d prefer to take public transportation, there’s a bus stop right outside of the Campbell Community Center, and if you take Lightrail it’s just a few blocks from the downtown Campbell stop.
There’s a nice bleacher area if you want to run steps, and a workout area if you want to do some resistance training using just your own body weight. Great place for a free workout!

Love coming here for my evening jogs and walks. It can def get crowded but for me it’s the safest place to be out on my own in the evenings for this type of activity.
You have people for all ages doing their thing as well as boot camp folks. The only thing I don’t care much for is that sometimes there will be little kids running around cutting people off on the track cashing down a ball or whatever other than that, yup check out this track if you haven’t.

I been coming here for the last 5 years mainly to do nightly walks around the track. Green fields, clean bathrooms, well lighted areas, adequate parking.
At times, there can be 100 – 200 people using the track to get a workout. This is mostly during the morning between 8−9AM and 7−9PM especially in the Spring/​Summers. Its so well liked that even a local neighborhood cat hangs around there, sitting in the middle of the track as people run and walk by.
No reason not to participate to start your morning or work off that dinner. ‘Round and ’round we go. You have to see it to appreciate it.

Even though it was crowded, runners and walkers were respectful of each other’s space. Arrived at the track around 830pm, lights stay on until 10pm, lots of parking near track. Happily achieved my workout.
I would definitely come to this track again!

Coming to a track to walk in circles makes about as much sense to me as paying for a gym membership to walk on a treadmill. Even with my relatively limited knowledge of the area, I can think of a myriad of nicer places to go if my sole intention is a leisurely stroll with friends. With the minor annoyance of walkers strolling on the inside lanes this is a great location. Nice ¼ mile track, bleachers, pull-​up bars, inter alia. The grassy area in the middle was covered with animal poop, so I’m not sure how accommodating it would be for situps, burpees or other exercises, but I’m sure a safe location can be found with a bit of effort. Overall a great spot!

Great place to work out! Whether you want to walk or run or do some bleacher workouts, this track has you covered! Plenty of parking available and big field in the middle to do some sit-​ups or other workouts of your choice!
If you live in the area, there’s no excuse not to work out!

Great cushioned track. Plenty of parking. Very well lit, both on the track and in the parking lot. Plenty of people so you feel safe without feeling crowded… I have also seen police cruise through the lot on occasion… Clean, well stocked, well lit restrooms. Bleachers to run up and down. A workout area to do pull ups, ab work, etc.
You really can’t beat it.

A nice track. Can get crowded weekdays after work with families. Great little area for strength training with park equipment and bleachers for stair training. Bleacher side of track is in the dark once the sun goes down. Subtracted one star because walkers often times walk in the inner 2 lanes which are marked and reserved for runners. Otherwise, a convenient community park for everyone. Note: watch out for the cute chubby grey cat sunbathing on the outer lane. Happy cat’s not phased by stomping runners because he owns this track. Haha

I absolutely love this track! Friendly runners, walkers, and trainers all around. It’s lit up from the early am til 9−10pm. Restrooms open at 7am and close at dusk daily. If you are lucky, there is a friendly kitty cat that will come right up and ask for your attention! Only downfall: in the soccer months, the family supporters & the unsupervised siblings are all over track making it difficult to get your run on. Stay motivated my fitness freaks!

I like this place! It is well lit at night, and typically has a number of people there. I feel safe going there. The cat is an added bonus. I see him/​her fairly often. Friendly typically, but sometimes just wants to hang out and people watch.
Parking is typically pretty easy unless there is an event going on. Even then, I always find a spot.

The City of Campbell did a great job of turning the former Campbell High School into a community center. To me, the track is the center’s jewel. It’s the perfect place to get in a quick workout. I particularly love that it’s an all-​weather, cushioned track and is lighted until 10 p.m. Plus, there’s plenty of parking and the facilities are well maintained.
Campbell is a pretty safe community, and the track reflects that. There are always plenty of people walking, jogging or running, so solo exercisers can feel comfortable working out on their own.
A few tips for track newcomers:
1. Read and abide by the posted track etiquette. It seems like common sense to be courteous to other track users, but you wouldn’t believe how many people just stop in the middle of the lanes to hold a conversation.
2. Again common courtesy: if walking with a group, don’t take up more than two lanes. It’s a track, not an obstacle course.
3. Dogs are not allowed. There are great trails along the creek. Take your dog there. Plus, the track mascot (see next tip) doesn’t approve.
4. Beware the track mascot: grumpy cat. This fuzz ball loves hanging out at the track, and even circles it once in a while. You can try to pet him but he’s not super friendly. He’ll let you know when he’s tired of your attention. Rawr!
