Walk Around the World

[polarbearman]

This facility is one of only two, the other is in Anchorage, Alaska. It has inside, a full 400 meter (440 yards) circular track which is 4 tracks wide, 68° temperature, with multi use soccer fields in the middle. The dome is used by the local high school, sports clubs, walkers and runners, athletes in training for 2010 Olymics, as well as various groups. The track is a padded track, fully marked for distances and is used for long runs, relays, sprints and hurdles. The dome facilities include, track and field, soccer, ultimate frisbee, lacrosse, golf chipping, volleyball, exercise classes, weight training and other uses.

A lot nicer than walking outside during our Winters.
