What parents say

Great récréation center located at the University of Maryland College. The center covers a varied range of disciplines from track to rock climbing. Top notch Olympics swimming pool and free weight rooms. Air conditioned basketball courts. Indoor track, gym, badminton indoor courts.

Eppley is the best. I will be buying an Eppley membership after I graduate if I am living around campus. One great but little known part about Eppley is the Adventure Program behind it; they have a rock wall and bouldering area for climbing, adventure trips during weekends and some week days, and you can rent out gear…

★★★★★ — Lauren, Oct 2020

Great place, modern, not crowded at all, underused. People, students, should take advantage of these great sports facilities. Outdoor pool and Olympic pool are awesome! I wonder where most students spend their free time since you don’t really find them here??…
