Open to Penn State students and Campus Recreation members from sunup to sundown. Equipment borrowable from Intramural Building and Tennis Center. Accessible via CATA Blue Loop bus. Funded by Student Fee Board. 2026-07-31: Re-fetched psu.edu's own Sept 2024 Campus Recreation announcement directly — confirms 12 courts (matches on-file), location next to McCoy Natatorium at the former tennis court site, and access restricted to 'Penn State students, or those with a Campus Recreation membership' (matches on-file access=paid). New: the article states courts are open 'from sunup to sundown' — added to hours (was null). No cost figure or phone published in the release; equipment (paddles/balls) available for checkout at the Intramural Building. Cost/phone remain unconfirmed.
