Hello everyone, my name is Tristan McNerny and are you looking to level up your next event on campus? The Pride Recreation Center has you covered. Students and student organizations can check out a wide variety of games and sports equipment; everything from lawn games like co****le, spikeball, and kan jam, to giant games like Jenga and Connect 4, all the way to sports equipment like basketballs, soccer balls, pickleball gear, and more. Whether you’re planning an event, hosting a tournament, or just want to have fun with friends, we’ve got something for everyone.
Getting started is simple. Just email us at [email protected] and include your name (or your organization’s name), a list of the equipment you’d like to borrow, your event date and time, and when you plan to return everything. This helps us make sure your items are ready and available when you need them.
Once your request is confirmed, come to the PRC front desk to pick up your equipment. Let one of our staff members know you’re there for a pickup, and we’ll get everything ready for you. Keep in mind that some items are larger, so you may want to plan ahead for transportation.
When you’re finished, return all equipment back to the Pride Recreation Center. Make sure everything is accounted for when returning your items, as missing equipment may result in a charge to your organization.
Be sure to check out our full inventory at my.widener.edu and start planning your next event with us!
