Track club gets creative by turning shopping center garage into own running facility
WEST NYACK, NY (WABC) A local track club is getting creative in the pandemic by turning a shopping center parking garage into their own running facility.
Most indoor tracks are closed and others have become vaccination sites, and with a harsh winter making outdoor track challenging, the Suffern track team is running indoors – in the parking garage at the Palisades Center.
“We were looking for an indoor space, or just anywhere that could protect us from the weather,” said Coach Jeff Dempsey, “Once we saw the size in here, it was enormous, so we knew it could work.”
