Our school project has an outdoor track made of rubber. Is this considered a hardscape or can it count as open space?
Thanks

Sounds like it would be considered hardscape - the glossary of the BD&C Reference Guide defines open space as "vegetated and pervious." There are some exceptions, such as for projects in densely developed areas earning SSc2, so you'd want to look into those.
