NEW: COVID-19 revised policies, procedures and safety measures

Recreation Facilities are for use only by authorized members of the USD community, including current students, faculty, staff and current Facility Use Pass holders. Family members of both faculty and staff are also welcome to use the Sports Center, McNamara Fitness Center, and Bosley Fitness Center, provided they have registered with the Campus Recreation department for their membership. Facility Use Pass policies are subject to change and are at the discretion of Campus Recreation and Athletics. 

You must present your current identification card (Torero ID or Facilities Use Pass Member ID) to enter all facilities. Your ID card is also required to check out equipment at the Sports Center. Please note that the Recreation staff may request to see your ID card at any time while using a sports/fitness facility or field.

Patrons may only use the facilities during posted open hours. They may not at any time use the facilities during posted closed time periods. For the Sports Center (pool, tennis/Pickleball and Gymnasium), we close the area 15-mins prior to the final facility and locker room closing time. All patrons must be out of the area by the indicated tine then out of the facility and locker room by the final closing time. Hours are indicated online. 

No "large group" may take over a Recreation facility space without having a pre-approved group reservation. We do post pick up/open times for varied areas, however, these areas are for the entire campus community and are first come, first serve. "Large groups" are defined by the space they would impact for a given area and that is at the discretion of Campus recreation and varies depending on other facility use activity/space. 

We ask for your cooperation with this policy as it has been established in the best interests of the USD community.

Help protect our facilities and fields:

We all share the responsibility of protecting our indoor courts and turf fields and ensuring that they continue to be well-maintained for the USD community. Please help care for our facilities and fields by following the below guidelines:

• No driving stakes
• No sunflower seeds
• No BBQs
• No animals (other than service animals)
• No gum
• No glitter
• No glass
• No vehicles
