Informal Recreation
Recreation opportunities occur in the Clark Athletic Center and the Beacon Fitness Center.
Our staff is dedicated to maintaining open recreation space for all registered members of Recreation to engage in various recreational activities without prior reservations. To learn how to register please go to our membership page.
Players are encouraged to be inclusive of others during open recreation hours. Unreserved open recreation activities such as Basketball, Table Tennis, and Skating are available on a first-come-first-serve basis. UMass Boston recognized groups and/or clubs are not allowed to utilize open recreation spaces or times for their activities (these groups must reserve in advance only). Times are subject to change due to special events and facility maintenance.
