The University of Puget Sound offers access to a variety of recreational facilities for students, faculty, staff, and guests (with authorized facilities use cards), including the Athletics & Aquatics Center and Memorial Fieldhouse, which houses the basketball courts, fitness center, indoor tennis pavilion, racquetball court, and the swimming pool. Access to the climbing wall is not included as part of the membership.

Puget Sound students, faculty, and staff will have priority use for all facilities to hold classes, intercollegiate athletic practices or competition, intramurals, or recreation activities, as well as special events by campus groups and organizations. Household members of faculty/staff, including spouses/partners of students, can use the facilities. Children 15 years and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times. (A member of the household is defined as spouse/partner or dependent/custodial children who reside in the faculty/staff/student's home only.)

Access to Facilities

Students, faculty, and staff are required to utilize the turn style with a valid and current university ID card to gain access to recreational facilities in the Athletics & Aquatics Center. The doors to Memorial Fieldhouse cannot be accessed for recreational purposes. All others (including household members) must present a valid Recreational Facilities Use Card with a photo ID for admittance. Use cards may be obtained by contacting Tanna Masters in the main athletic office during normal business hours. Recreational Facilities Use Cards are non-transferable. Faculty, staff, and students may purchase guest passes for $10 up to five times a year (must be purchased in the main athletic office during regular business hours).

Non-University Persons: Only Logger Club members and Puget Sound Alumni can purchase an annual Recreational Facilities Use Card (individuals only, no family rates available). There is a limited number of use cards sold each year. Use cards are valid for a one-year period from July 1 – June 30. All non-university persons must sign a waiver of liability form before a pass can be issued. All cardholders are required to present a photo I.D. for admittance.

Locker Rooms: Patrons may use the Fitness Center's locker room space to change and store personal items. Swimmers can use the swim locker rooms when not in use by the team. A gender-neutral locker room/shower is located off the back hallway by swim locker rooms. All lockers are for day-use only, and items cannot be left overnight.
