Sport & Recreation

Our sporting facilities are world-class

The University Recreation and Aquatic Centre (URAC) offers world-class facilities for a wide range of sport and recreational activities.

Gym facilities

Facilities include sporting fields, with views to Mount Keira, that have played host to Australian and visiting international rugby teams as training venues before Test matches, as well as providing playing and training venues for the University's wide variety of sporting clubs and teams.

Drinks at the cricket - Main Oval

There's a gymnasium and a heated 50-metre swimming pool of such quality that it hosted Icelandic and Finnish swim teams in the lead up to the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.

The Olympic Pool

All UOW students are automatically entitled to full membership rights to URAC and can take advantage of the large range of activities on offer from aerobic classes, yoga and pilates to leisure and outdoor activities to learn-to-swim and social sports competition. There's 24 social sports clubs ranging from rugby to rock climbing to get involved in. It's a great way to get fit and make friends at the same time!
