Outdoor/Recreation

To help maintain a healthy lifestyle, Kutztown University students can become members at the Student Recreation Center which gives them access to a fitness center, several sports courts including racquetball, dance and yoga studios, indoor track, juice bar, jacuzzis, and a rock climbing wall, just to name a handful of membership perks on the list.

Students also have the option of joining several different intramural teams at different levels, making it fun and accessible for everyone! Another great attraction is the nearby Crystal Cave, which is a “must-do” for anyone looking to explore the nearby area. Heading to one of the many parks is a great way to clear your head and relax. North Park is a popular area, where you can sit beside the creek or walk the many trails and soak up the scenery.
