If you prefer to walk, jog or run on a track versus residential streets or sidewalks, this is a great opportunity to get your exercise in. The Two Rivers Warrior Track is available for community use with a paid walking pass. Note: Track availability varies. Track pass users will need some flexibility, accessing the track only when it is not in use by District 197 programming and activities. Review the track use policy below: The Warrior Track pass may be used Monday-Sunday between 6 am-9 pm, but only when it is not in use by District 197 programming and activities. Our programming and activities vary based on curriculum, weather, unpredicted rescheduling of events, and district holidays. Shared use while school programming is running is not allowed. Community walkers must vacate the track anytime District 197 sponsored activities are occurring, even if the track area is not in use, so programming can run safely without distraction. Failure to adhere to this policy will result in deactivation of your walking pass. For the safety and security of students and our facility, athletic and activity schedules are not posted for the public. The track will be closed for the season after the first snowfall. It will reopen in the spring when the snow has melted, and there is no future snow predicted. Note: This pass is only good for the track portion of Warrior Field. Use of the turf field is not allowed. Absolutely NO pets, food or glass is allowed inside Warrior Field. Wear appropriate walking shoes. Step 1) Register for your walking pass. You can do so online here, or call 651-403-8520 to complete the registration process. Step 2) After you have registered, email facilities@isd197.org or call 651-403-8520 to request activation of your access card. Access cards can take up to 72 business hours to set up. Step 3) Once your card is activated, you will be contacted to schedule a pick up time. Access cards will not be mailed. Staff hours vary: please do not stop in for card pick up without previously verifying an appointment time.
