Witter Field

Hard to get to, but the turf is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.
The grass on the baseball field is pretty much perfect.
Softball field is fun for homerun derby.
What is annoying is that Piedmont moms won’t let me shoot a soccerball into the lacrosse goals since they think I might ruin it. A soccerball has a lot less force than lacrosse balls being chucked into them… COME ON, MOMS!
Otherwise, a great «public» training facility.

Piedmont High School track and field.
Great steps leading to/​from the field. A great place to do some ‘step’ work. In addition the football field bleachers/​seats are also another great place to do ‘step’ work at as well.
I was here for the first time today with GoWoW Team, which is the only official marathon training team for the 2013 Oakland Running Festival.
We did various lap trainings and a 2 mile tempo walk on the Olympic style spongy track this really takes a lot of the pounding off of your walking/​running.
I was surprised at how many different groups were out here today for various types of trainings.
Runners, walkers, people doing steps, football players practicing, and I even saw a guy with his TRX straps working out on a posted bar.
I think this field is well used by the surrounding neighbors.
This field is best access from Wildwood Avenue.
