Open Recreation
The casual
Way to Play
Get some unstructured play in your day!
Looking to blow off some steam, get some exercise or challenge your friends? You don't need to be in intramural leagues or club sports to use our facilities. UREC's Open Recreation options are just for you! We've got everything you need to have a blast, all on your own terms.
Facilities
Shoot hoops, spike the ball or just relax in the pool
If there's not a program or practice going on, our facilities are open for you to use whenever you want to unwind or get active. Play a pick-up game of basketball or volleyball with friends in the east or west gyms, hone your soccer skills on the indoor turf gym, or challenge your reflexes on the racquetball courts (wallyball is welcome too!). Feeling more low-key? Take a dip in the pool for some relaxing lap swimming or just have some fun splashing around.
East & West Gyms
These multipurpose gyms can host a plethora of activities beyond the normal basketball and volleyball games.
Turf Gym
The indoor turf gym is used for soccer, football, or other open rec activities as desired.
