Open recreation offers students, faculty, and staff of UW-Eau Claire the opportunity to participate in recreational activities in a less structured setting. All open recreation activities take place within the McPhee Physical Education Center and the Ade Olson addition. Use of the facility for open recreation is on a first come first serve basis during open recreation hours. Patrons can check out equipment from the open recreation office which is located near court 4 of the Ade Olson addition. Listed below are the items that can be checked out:

  • Badminton Racquets
  • Dodgeballs
  • Footballs
  • Frisbees
  • Indoor/Outdoor Soccer Balls    
  • Men's/Women's Basketballs
  • Racquetball Racquets
  • Volleyballs
  • Wallyball Net and Ball

To check out any equipment, you must present your Blugold ID. If you need assistance with court set up, please ask a recreation staff member to assist you. Reminder: when playing racquetball, eyewear must be worn at all times.
