ALL RECREATION CENTERS BOTH ON MAIN CAMPUS AND REDWOOD CITY ARE CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
Announcements
Starting January 6th, the Avery Rec Pool at the AOERC will no longer be keeping ID cards to check out equipment. You may still bring your ID card so we can scan it. This will make the equipment checkout process faster. If you don’t have your ID card, you will still be able to check out equipment, however, it will take longer.
