Got questions about plans for the Racquet Centre space?
Racquet sports will remain an important part of Active Living. The west side of the space is being repurposed in response to member feedback.
Try UCalgary Racquet Centre
The Racquet Centre is home to seven Squash courts and three Racquetball/Handball courts, all international size, as well as Pickleball courts (play in a racquetball court with modified dimensions).
UCalgary students and Active Living members can access the facility.
