They have a great track to walk or jog on but not good for starting blocks as it's an asphalt track. Chavis heights has an outdoor track that is better suited for athletes who use starting blocks. They have a good 100 m straightaway for training.

I love walking here. it’s a big park with a nice trail and it connects to the greenway!

Buffaloe Road Athletic Park is a clean, well-maintained spot that’s perfect for baseball tournaments, soccer, and family sports days. The fields are kept in great shape and the facilities are solid, including plenty of parking and bathrooms that are actually clean for a public park. The only downside is on big tournament days it can get crowded and a little chaotic, but that’s just because so many people use it. Overall, it’s a great athletic park that’s organized, family friendly, and one of the better places in the area for youth sports and weekend events.

Awesome baseball facilities. Always clean, maintained well. Adequate seating and parking. Only suggestion I would recommend is to add additional or higher fencing to contain fowl balls. Appreciate facilities like this.

We really love this complex. The track, field, baseball fields, trail, dog park, restrooms, swimming facility... it's a very active place. The new lighting system at the track & field is a game-changer. It's a lot more safe and family-friendly after-dark. The only thing missing out here is a pavilion and picnic area with grills. But I still give it a 5-star rating.
