Campus Recreation is thrilled to announce the opening of another fitness facility at Princeton University – the Wilkinson Fitness Center in the new Racquet & Recreation Fieldhouse on Meadows Campus.

Access to the Wilkinson Fitness Center, squash courts and tennis courts at the Racquet & Recreation Fieldhouse is available to all Princeton University students and Rec Members!

Key Features at the Racquet & Recreation Fieldhouse

Join us in opening our new facility on Friday, November 1, 2024, from 10:00am - 2:00pm! The first 100 members will receive an exclusive Campus Rec shaker bottle.

Full operating hours will begin on Monday, November 4, 2024:

  • Monday - Thursday: 6:00 am - 10:00 pm 
  • Friday: 6:00 am - 8:00 pm
  • Saturday & Sunday: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm

Rec Squash & Rec Tennis

While the Racquet & Recreation Fieldhouse will primarily be the new home of varsity racquet sports, there will also be regular availability for recreational use of squash and tennis courts after the facility opening. Rec Members and Princeton University students can reserve court time in advance through Campus Recreation’s online portal under “Bookings”, and Guest Passes will be available for purchase at the desk.

Transportation & Parking

Regular shuttle service will also be provided from Central Campus to Meadows Campus.  Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to take Route #3 or Route #4 shuttle as a convenient option between campuses.

Parking will be available in the new Meadows Drive parking garage.  The first two levels will be available for University visitors (including faculty/staff dependents, affiliates, alumni, etc.), while the higher levels will be reserved for those with any Princeton University parking permit. 


We look forward to welcoming students and our Rec community into this beautiful new facility! It should provide an expanded selection of recreational opportunities for you to explore in a new and accessible location.
