The riding track usually follows the outer edge of a school playing field.

Primarily not to interfere with the established rugby, soccer, or hockey fields. Some schools have designed tracks that go part-way around the field and then double back and return parallel to the starting point. This design allows large numbers of children to ride at any one time.
