Angell Field is a beautiful and very well-maintained track and field at Stanford University, open to the public. It features a full nine-lane track with a pleasantly bouncy surface, a real grass field, clean bleachers and stands, and all the facilities for a track meet. It is easily accessible with plenty of free parking nearby. The track is perfect for working out and makes running enjoyable. It is cleaner and feels more open compared to other local tracks. People of all levels use it, from novices to college athletes. However, it does get crowded at times. It is unavailable on most weekdays from about 2-6pm for team practices and can be busy on Thursdays due to a run club. Some users may demarcate lanes for training, but with nine lanes, there is generally plenty of room. It remains a great space to hang out or workout when there are no events or practices.
Wow! What a fun track to run on. Truly world class. Thanks to Stanford University for letting everyday people run on and enjoy the track!

Open to the public on weekends (as far as I know) and really nice conditions for training. Water fountain nearby and parking is free on weekends as well.
