Dixon Recreation Center, Recreational facility at Oregon State University, United States.
Dixon Recreation Center is a large sports complex at Oregon State University with multiple fitness areas, swimming pools, climbing walls, and specialized training zones. The facility provides various equipment and spaces designed for students and staff to use for their fitness and sports routines.
Dixon Recreation Center is named after the Dixon family, whose 1970s donation helped fund the original building on the Oregon State University campus in Corvallis. It opened as a student recreation facility and was later expanded with additional gyms, courts and a pool to serve a growing campus population.
The center's name honors the Dixon family, longtime supporters of Oregon State University athletics. Students and staff use the two gyms, racquetball and squash courts, and indoor track for pickup games and informal leagues throughout the academic year.
Access to the facility is available for registered users, and equipment areas can be reserved ahead of time for specific sessions. The quieter hours tend to offer better access to equipment and spaces.
Dixon Recreation Center has both racquetball and squash courts, two sports that use different balls and court markings and are often housed separately. The building also has an indoor track and a dive well beside the pool, so runners and divers use the same complex.
