The Student Recreation Center @ Cal State Northridge


It has been approximately three months since the brand-new Student Recreation Center (SRC) opened at Cal State University, Northridge on Jan. 26.

Whenever I go to the SRC, I find many currently enrolled students who are taking advantage, as we receive memberships with no additional cost, enjoying their time at the cool facility.

The Student Recreation Center features an indoor jogging track along with many other facilities such as basketball and volleyball courts, a multi-activity court for indoor hockey and soccer, and even a rock-climbing wall in front of the entrance. The indoor track that lies at the topmost floor of the Center is 1/8 mile long. Students can enjoy running in a climate-controlled environment, regardless of the weather outside. The track's superior biomechanical design allows for consistent traction with a cushioned surface providing greater safety and comfort. The fact that it is carpeted certainly aids the runner attempting to add an extra mile to their run.

“I come here between classes or when I am stressed-out by home-works and papers to refresh myself. I just want to try to keep my body healthy, instead of sitting in front of the desk all day. It is also good to come here when you don’t want to think of anything and just reflect with yourself. Perhaps the most greatest thing is that we’re able to run being protected from the San Fernando Valley sun!” says Alonso Corona, a 22-year-old senior student who comes to the SRC about twice a week.

There is also a Total Training Zone located on the first floor of the SRC. The Training Zone is a large room with wall-to-wall mirrors and sprawling with treadmills and strength-training equipment.

If you are at school and you feel like running or activating your body, I suggest you to go straight to the SRC.
