Information
Whitney Young High School, the alma mater of Michelle Obama, built an excellent outdoor sports center in 2019. The facility includes a quarter-mile track that is open to the public outside of the school’s regular hours. The track circles around an impressive field that can host any variety of sporting event like football, American football, rugby, or lacrosse. There is also a baseball diamond and facilities for track and field events.
At times, the track might be closed if the baseball or football fields are hosting large events, or if the school sports teams have a game. The location is about one mile west of downtown Chicago, making it a perfect spot for anyone in the Loop or West Loop neighborhoods.
