The Mangrum Track & Soccer Field

Since my friend reviewed it, I might as well review it. I use the Track at least a few times a month. It was re-​tracked, or whatever it is called when they redid the rubber last year, which gives it a much bouncier feel than before. It is very safe, and there are blue «emergency phone poles» that dial to the campus police station in case you need them. There is a permit machine in the parking lots where you can buy hourly permits. There is also two portable restrooms, unless you want up walk up to the buildings and use those. For those sprinters out there, the north end if the track (next to the scoreboard) catches strong gusts of wind for about 75 meters, so you’ve been warned.
My office overlooks the track so I see it almost every day. It’s nice, its clean and it sure beats the treadmill. Wave if you’re here.

The track is fairly new to the school. It was my first time running on CSUSM’s track, and the surface was amazing! Didn’t cause any type of pain or discomfort to my legs, knees or feet. The turf was smooth and soft.
Unfortunately, there’s not much to see as CSU is still in construction. I hear that many people from the community come here for their fitness needs, and I felt pretty safe running on the track.
Note: Come on Wed evenings. The Farmer’s Market is located on campus in one of the parking lots. The track is right across the street. Workout and grub on healthy fruits and snacks afterward!
