Overview
Prior to the opening of the Sports Park, KSU students shared just one field for programming and recreation. Now, KSU Sports and Recreation boasts of having one of the finest recreation complexes available to students anywhere in the Southeast. Six synthetic fields are available 7 days a week for Intramural / Club sports or student programming. Open recreation space, walking trails and sand volleyball are also part of the offerings for our students all set with Kennesaw Mountain as the backdrop of this immaculate and impressive facility.
