Open Recreation Schedules

The Department of Athletics & Recreation works to preserve Open Recreation space for patrons of the Ratner Athletics Center and Henry Crown Field House. Activity spaces are available for Open Recreation when not in use by Varsity Athletics, Intramurals, Sport Clubs, FitChicago, and external reservations. If an activity space is not reserved for one of these groups, it is generally available for Open Recreation. Open Recreation times are not exclusive and need to be shared by users.

• Schedules for each available space can be found here (Google Docs). Tabs for each space are located at the bottom of the page. 
  • Please observe the information/notices that are located at the bottom of certain space's schedules on each tab of the Google Doc.

Spaces Information/Notices

Ratner Competition and Auxiliary Gyms

• Court Rotation and Sharing Policy: To ensure fairness when all courts are occupied, activity groups playing during open recreation periods are asked to rotate off the floor after 30 minutes of play if another activity group is waiting to play. The 30-minute time period will start when at least 10 individuals are present to request the court from a playing group.
• Half Court Policy: Half court play is mandatory when there are 6 or more participants who wish to play basketball half court. 

Henry Crown Field House Multi-Purpose Room and Martial Arts Room

• The Martial Arts Room and the Multi-Purpose Room make up the large room with the green turf. The Martial Arts Room is the smaller east side of the room when the curtain is pulled across. The Multi-Purpose Room is the larger west side of the room when the curtain is pulled across (closest to the batting cages).
