Rent a Space at the RecPlex

Our world-class facility offers a variety of different spaces, from ice, turf, and hardcourt spaces to multipurpose rooms, convertible convention space, and more. Although people can play a sport or participate in an activity during drop-in times, you may want to rent space to ensure you have the area to yourself or to host an event.

Renting space at the RecPlex is easy — just look at the schedule to find open times for the space of your choice and contact us to rent it. Our staff would be happy to talk through information such as booth layouts or floor coverings for special events.
