On-Campus Recreational Facilities
The Pool: The pool is open most days during the academic year and is always staffed by a certified lifeguard. Hours vary and can be found posted throughout campus in the burrow and outside of the pool. The pool is heated for those few times when we need it. The pool deck has a variety of tables and chairs as well as patio loungers so you can kick back and relax while you read your latest class assignment.
The pool isn’t designed for doing laps – its more for taking a quick dip, playing some pool volleyball or doing water exercises. There’s also a stereo and you can put in your music requests with the lifeguards.
Special events throughout the year also occur at the pool – you’ll end up there for one thing or another so stop by, slap on some SPF30, and relax!
Sand Volleyball/Tennis/Basketball Courts
All three are lighted by timers so if you want to shoot hoops at the basketball court like LeBron James, you can play at midnight (there is a group of Honors College students who do!). There are also benches by the court so you can relax and cheer on your peers.
Multipurpose Field:
Presently located behind the SR building, this is where the pick-up games occur and open recreation. There are soccer goals which are moved around depending on the game and the field is lined by Campus Recreation.
Equipment checkout:
Tennis balls & racquets, basketballs, frisbees, volleyballs and soccer balls are available for check-out at the Burrow – just bring your FAU Owl Card. Clubs and Organizations can check-out some of the other equipment such as coolers, tennis racquets, badminton, beach volleyball sets, kick balls, and other cool things.


Off Campus Recreation:
We are blessed with great weather year round which allows for participation almost all the time. You can easily bike to Juno Beach or it’s a 5 minute drive, and fish on its beautiful pier. There are several local and state parks within our area as well, including the Blowing Rocks Preserve and Jonathan Dickinson State Park, as well as the Abacoa Greenway adjacent to campus, an ideal location for trail runs or hikes. There are plenty of 5K’s and other races in the area, and excellent group bicycle rides along the coast each weekend.
Within a few miles of campus are a bowling alley, billiards hall, Skate Park, playgrounds, jogging trails, tennis and racquetball courts, and camp sites. You also have access to the FAU Boca campus recreation facilities as well. There are plenty of professional sports in the area to watch too: the Florida Marlins, the Miami Heat, the Miami Dolphins, racing at the Moroso track, polo matches in Wellington, and of course FAU Athletics.
