Allyson Felix Track & Field — Attraction in Los Angeles

T E R R I B L E. I'm a hard runner and I've tried off and on to get here to put in oval workouts when the training plan calls for it. In the beginning, they were great. Open to public from 11a to 1p and then the evening for a bit (can't recall times, 6 to 9 or something to that effect). Every now and again they'd have some random school function happening (a HS football thing going, band, et al) and they'd close the track off to the public, ok, I get it, stuff comes up. However, bear in mind, times are listed NOWHERE, zero places, so you can't simply check a site, even an IG on these changing hours of operation. You just show up with your fingers crossed, hoping for the best.

So, steadily over the yrs they've modified, changed, altered times seemingly whenever they please. Now, after maybe the 4th consecutive rejection, I'm absolutely done. Just consider this university (that relies on taxpayer funding and beni's from local residents, which I am) firewalled off to the public. Shelled off. They don't want you. It's seriously a joke. I think it's open to the public from 6a to 8 now, per the guard. For now. Until tmrw. When it isn't. And it changed. And u wasted your commute again.

Take yourself to Rancho Cienega on Obama & La Cienega as a better bet. Or, Santa Monica College in SM which nearly always is open to runners just trying to trot around, maybe stadium train. USC is too high falutin, scratch that, too good for the common runner. Too good to interact w the surrounding citizenry whose property they've hijacked like a spreading infection.

Yes, frustrated, yes, I'm sure this reads...

Awesome track. This is the place to be at in the evenings, whether you want to exercise on the beautiful track, or just enjoys the cool breeze of the LA evenings. It has a separate zone to body weight exercises, and football field, an awesome running track and a good number of seats for the spectators to come and chill. One round of the track is...

Excellent, well-maintained multi-purpose athletic field with high-speed, artificial turf for soccer matches and football scrimmages. Pull-up bars and other fitness facilities are available, as well. Above all, the historic Olympic and N.C.A.A. Division I athletic pedigree associated with U.S.C. is world-class and...
