    Default After Hours Use of School Property and Amenities

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Illinois

    So pretty simple question designed to help me obey the law. In my local area all parks and recreational natural areas close at sunset. Not a problem i totally understand it for criminal and safety reasons it is a must.

    However behind my home is the local Highschool which has a track and football stadium that i have seen many people use during the day but after school hours with no noticeable repercussions. I work evening and so it is common for me to be out and about late at night. I have begun jogging in an effort to slim my waistline and improve overall health. since i am wanting to jog the best time is after work which happens to be around 11 at night. I am looking for a semi-secure lighted area for me to jog in i would like it to be semi secure meaning to me that in normal circumstances you wont have alot of cross traffic if people are there they are there for a reason.
    The lighting is for several things, ensure my safety while running, allow others to easily observe me and more importantly my intentions so there is limited misunderstanding as to what i am doing. and allow me to see others that may approach. at this point its better safe than sorry.

    I visited the track during the day and there were no signs forbidding entrance and no signs saying closed after dark or any timing related signage. there is also a fence around the track but there is no gate and nothing to bar entrance that i would have to circumvent to get inside. i could stroll in without having to climb a fence or open a gate or anything the gate stands wide open.

    Would this be an acceptable place to jog. As i said i have not yet gone there after dark so i have not been warned away or anything and if warned not to be there i will definitely listen to the warning. But i want to make sure i wont get in trouble with the law if i attempt it. especially as the police warned me away from a local park after dark recently.

    any advice helps

    thanks
