The goal of Campus Recreation is to offer students, faculty, and staff programs that promote physical and personal development in a safe and fun environment. The department also provides leadership development opportunities for students and participants. The department recognizes the value of developing the whole person and believes that recreational and intramural sports are an important part of the University of Central Arkansas's educational experience.

The HPER originally opened in 2000 as a 72,000 square foot recreation center. In 2012, the process for an extensive expansion and renovation project began, which added an additional 100,000 square feet to the center. The expansion included a new weight room, a cardio deck, an indoor track, a multipurpose room, and locker rooms.

The HPER expansion and renovation includes three new full-sized basketball courts, a weight room, a cardio room, and three group exercise studios. The natatorium features a 6 lane, 25-yard lap pool. Other additions include lounge areas, recreational game space, three racquetball courts, and an outdoor recreation center.

We hope that the expansion and renovation will help campus recreation to keep achieving its goals and making the UCA campus healthier for everyone.

Fantastic experience: As a senior citizen who has always enjoyed learning, I decided to continue my education at UCA. I absolutely LOVE that place. Especially like the HPER Center where one can find any type of equipment and/or activity s/he might be interested in to help them get in shape and/or stay in shape.

Fantastic experience: I love the UCA HPER!!! Especially after the relatively recent renovation they did, this is an awesome gym that is very well run and cleanly maintained! You can tell the staff and admins care about the presentation and functionality of all the equipment and spaces. I utilized this facility a lot when I was in school here and still do as an alumnus. Highly recommend checking it out!

Fantastic experience: Very nice place

Jacob Floyd 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: An amazing new building (that took forever to complete) has a good indoor track for when it gets cold. They have pretty much everything you could ask for in a gym, even a swimming pool, which is awesome. It can get crowded during the beginnings of the semesters, but that shouldn't deter you from checking out this fantastic facility. They also have foosball tables and whatnot for those that want a place to relax.
