Open Recreation
Some folks prefer to do their “own thing”, but not necessarily by themselves. Open Recreation is where we provide the space, sometimes the equipment, and you set up your own activities. Here’s an incomplete listing of the Open Recreation that takes place in various parts of Campus Rec and where you can participate.
