Sports Centre FAQ

What are your hours of operation?

Where can I park?

  • Community members can access the MacLauchlan Arena parking lot, located behind our facility and across from the School of Sustainable Design and Engineering Building.
  • Community members may obtain a token from the Bell Aliant Centre Control Desk following their workout.
  • Metered parking lots are located in front of the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre and W.A. Murphy Student Centre.

Note: The gated lot in front of the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre is for Bell Aliant Centre pool users only. Parking in this lot will require you to pay for a token at the pool’s Control Desk.

Where can I change/put my outdoor clothing if locker rooms are closed?

  • Users should bring their own locks as UPEI Athletics and Recreation is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.
  • Lockers are for day use only. Any locks left on overnight will be cut off and items will be removed.
  • For walking track users, there is a coat rack available outside of the track to put your personal belongings.
  • Washrooms are located outside the walking track and fitness centre on the second floor. 

How will I know if the facility is closed due to weather conditions?

  • You can find weather-related early or full closures on UPEI's main page (upei.ca) or by downloading the UPEI Safe app. Available on Google Play or Apple's App Store.
  • We will also post all weather related closures on our social media pages:
    • Facebook - UPEI Athletics and Recreation
    • Twitter - @UPEIPanthers
    • Instagram - UPEI Panthers

When is open gym time?

  • Open gym time will not be offered for the foreseeable future. Please check the website for details from time to time.
