A university parking permit is required to park in the adjacent lots off Southern Ave. at Houston St. and Goodman St. (lots 15 and 20). Campus Recreation does not oversee parking, so you must contact Parking Services located on Zach Curlin Street on the south side of the parking garage. For more information, call 901.678.2212 or visit Parking Services online.

Visit www.memphis.edu/parking and click the link under PTS eMarket. Then click the CE/Rec Center $32 box and follow additional prompts for purchase. There is a ‘Recreation Center’ option in the drop-down menu that you need to select so that you receive the correct permit that will allow you to access the gates in Lots 15 and 20. Once purchased, an employee will email you to notify you that your pass is ready for pick up in their 24/7 accessible lobby in the lower level of the parking garage on Zach Curlin.

Bike racks are also available. Bikes must be placed in bike racks, not in facilities or locked on hand rails. 

We offer a variety of programs including group fitness classes which are free for students and members, and personal training offered at a reduced rate to students and members.

Reasons could include:

• you are no longer a student or faculty/staff.
• you need to pay Activity Fees at the USBS office to access to the our facilities.
• you had a Household Membership under a parent but you are now over 26 years old.
• you are a faculty or staff member with no membership
• your recreation privileges were revoked by the Office of Student Accountability.
• you are a current IEI student who has not paid the fee to activate facility access privileges.
• you are UofM faculty or staff and taking a class as a student at the University. Faculty/staff status has priority over student status, so a membership must be purchased. If you are taking a PHED class in one of our studios, simply let the front desk know and speak with a supervisor to gain access.

Yes! Guests over 16 years of age are allowed to use our facilities by purchasing a guest pass for $15, good for one visit. Passes are only available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and will stop being sold one hour prior to closing time (see Hours of Operation for details). Guests can only purchase FIVE guest passes within an academic semester. Once reaching this limit, you must purchase a membership to continue using our facilities. During the summer, guest passes are sold every day with no pass limit.

Guest passes are sold on-site only and you must present a valid ID. Those under 16 years of age must come with a parent or guardian who must stay with them during their visit. If the parent or guardian does not have a membership, they must also purchase a guest pass to accompany their child.

We do not offer memberships specifically for the pool, but you may purchase a $15 guest pass for each visit, purchase a membership or join the Masters Swim Program through Memphis Tiger Swimming. 

Yes, you will need to tap your phone for the mobile credentialing or scan the barcode from the app for entry. If you forget your phone or don't have the app, ask the front desk worker to look you up on the computer.
