To be run?

I would like to modify the sentence 'grounds are for running' into 'grounds are meant to be run in'.
Is the latter sentence correct?
What I really intend to say is, grounds are meant for running/jogging. How can I say it using 'meant to be'? Please help.

The grounds are meant to be run upon. (It's rather formal sounding, however.)

The grounds are meant to be run on. (less formal)
