Recreation, Health, and Wellness

The Department of Campus Recreation & Wellness at Barry is based on the philosophy of wholesome recreation and the right to play. By providing students, faculty, and staff with a well-rounded program, a safe environment, and a chance to challenge themselves, there is "something for everyone." Recreation at Barry encourages all constituents to become involved in an activity of their choice.

This lighted, outdoor facility houses six 3-wall racquetball courts, six well-surfaced tennis courts, and two full courts for basketball. Located just north of the Health and Sports Center (HSC), this facility is the home site for both our men's and women's tennis teams. Tennis instruction is available through our ISR program. Courts are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Multipurpose Fields

Our lush, green field space consists of one full-sized recreation field and our athletic fields. All intramural field sports are held on the rec. field or the softball field, and all fields are lighted! Varsity teams that regularly use these fields are our soccer teams, baseball, and fast-pitch softball. Special events and club practices are sometimes held out here as well.

Thompson Hall “Miller Studio”

This multipurpose facility is a mirrored showroom for ISR instruction, wellness activities, physical education courses, and dance programs. This facility is exclusively used for these activities and is rigorously maintained to ensure a clean and professional appearance.

Penafort Pool

This recreational pool is available to University members yearlong. An ample terrace area serves as leisure space to lie out, catch some sun, and socialize. Some popular student activities are held at the pool as well as recreational gatherings. SCUBA classes, ISR instruction, and aquatic wellness offerings also use the pool.

Sand Volleyball Court

This is the premiere site for some competitive and recreational beach volleyball. The court is usually open all hours of the day and is located just east of the pool. Sign up for our intramural league in the fall or play pick up any time.
