Summer 2013 Closure:

The North Grounds Recreation Center will be CLOSED for the summer 2013 semester beginning June 10 to accommodate the renovations and expansion project. During this time we’ll be upgrading the fitness room with new cardio and resistance training machines, flooring and glass back walls for the racquetball courts. Construction will continue on the new 10-lane swimming pool, additional multi-purpose space and two competition-size international squash courts. Squash and racquetball courts are available for members this summer at Slaughter Recreation Center as well as the new Boars Head McArthur Squash Center, opening this spring. We appreciate your patience and flexibility during the construction and renovation process. We’ll keep you informed regarding an opening date this fall of the newly renovated North Grounds Recreation Center!

The North Grounds Recreation Center, located near the University Law and Business Schools, was originally built in 1986 and was renovated in 2006. The facility includes a two-court gymnasium, weight room, fitness area, racquetball and squash courts and multi-purpose room.

The North Grounds Recreation Center Expansion, currently underway and scheduled for completion in fall 2013, will result in a 33,000 square feet addition that will include a pool, whirlpool, sauna, fitness room, squash courts and locker rooms. Renovations planned include improvements to existing racquetball courts and increased fitness space. >Get the details.
