Wellness WheelIntroducing the Cal Rec Sports
The Wellness Wheel demonstrates how the dimensions of life work together to support and foster wellness in each
of us. When all six dimensions come together
equally, the wheel is balanced. Lack of effort
in any area produces an unbalanced whole –
this is normal! Go online and click on the wheel’s segments to discover campus programs that can help you attain the
balance you need to live a healthy life.

No classes. No sign ups. Just time for you to lift, run, play, swim and sweat. Please note that Cal Rec Club membership is required to participate in Open Recreation.
BasketballHoops heaven: seven courts, three gyms and tons of open rec hours.
Cardiovascular Equipment We’ve got treadmills, stairmasters, elliptical trainers, rowing machines, stationary bikes, and more. Our machines – over 100 and counting – are there for you whenever we’re open; find them at the RSF.
Racquet SportsTennis, Racquetball, Handball, Squash, Badminton or Table Tennis; whatever the sport, we’ve got a court for you. Racquetball, Handball, Squash, Badminton and Table Tennis are available at the RSF; tennis courts are located throughout campus – for locations visit
www.recsports.berkeley.edu/tennis
TracksHit the track at Edwards Stadium/Goldman Field – an eight lane, Olympic-class track located just west of the RSF. Or, take in stellar views of the bay as you run on our dirt track at the Golden Bear Rec Center.
TrailsJust behind the Strawberry Canyon Rec Area the “Fire Trail” awaits hikers and runners. This seven mile (roundtrip) trail twists its way up through Strawberry Canyon, offering views of the Campanile, the Golden Gate Bridge and Mt. Tamalpais. The trail starts at the SCRA parking lot and follows Centennial Drive for a short way before veering deeper into the canyon. Note: Use this trail wisely – take water, bring a friend, and use only during daylight hours.
Swimming4 pools and 32 lanes mean plenty of opportunity for rec swimming. More detail on our pools:
Spieker PoolWorkout in the same pool used by the men’s and wom-en’s swim teams: 18 lanes, 25 yards, 79-80 degrees F.
Golden Bear PoolThis 25 yard, six lane pool – maintained at a comfortable 80 degrees – is ideal for fitness training or lap swimming.
Hearst North PoolMarble decking? Colonnaded Nymphs ringing the pool? Sounds like a bacchanalian fantasy, but actually this is a 33 1/3 yard, four lane pool that sits on the second floor of the Phoebe Hearst Gymnasium. Designed by Julia Morgan in 1927, it is one of UC Berkeley’s most historically significant buildings.
Strawberry Canyon PoolThe natural beauty of Strawberry Canyon provides the backdrop for our combo lap swim/rec pool. Four lanes are dedicated to lap swimming – the rest is for play.
