There was a high school field in Salt Lake City that up until a few years ago had part of the running track going right through center and right field at about 300ftin center and less in right with no fence beyond. The track was considered in play. They finally got the goverment to fix the situation.

When I played football there was a high school in our region who tried to cram the running track around the football field in space that could really only accomodate a football field. A sizable portion of each end zones corner was track. I remember them having painted the end zone lines into the track and setting up the corner pylon on it. I creamed a guy in one of those corners defending a pass and remember it not feeling good.

I sometimes wonder what goes through peoples heads when it comes to designing these fields.
