    My guess would be if there is not a pad lock on the gate, you should be OK. Usually you will see other people walking on the track so you won't feel like the only one.

    I go on one nearby quite often and so do other people. I live in Washington. Not sure if other places have laws about this or not.

    usually as long as there is not an event you can use it, a good indicator is if it's locked up or not ;) I'd say if it's open, it's fair game! I use the one at our high school, and also at one of the universities here when there's not a meet or practice going on....

    Yes- most of them are typically open to the public. I run at the local high school track all the time :).

    I don't *think* it would be trespassing. As long as you're not being super creepy and lurking in front of the cheerleaders while they're practicing, you should be fine :wink:

    You could always call the school and doublecheck though....

    If it's a public school, the public is usually free to use them as long as they don't interfere with the students' use of them.
