Translated: Recreation Price Increase

The notice in italics below appeared in UCLA Today Aug. 15 (excerpt) and seems to be announcing a price increase for recreation services. Alternatively, for free you can wait to play in the snow on campus as in January 1932.

UCLA Recreation has revamped its membership structure with new pricing options and simplified its offerings into three campus zones. Faculty and staff can now select memberships to access one, two or all three of the new zones, explained Bill Aberbuch, the marketing services manager for Recreation.

The Central Zone includes the John Wooden Center, the Student Activities Center (except for the SAC pool), Drake Track Stadium and all playing fields. The Sunset Park Zone includes Sunset Canyon Recreation Center and all campus pools. The Recreation South Zone includes the new Kinross Recreation Center, which is expected to open during fall quarter, and the South Pool, a warm-water exercise pool located at 1000 Veteran Ave. in the Rehab Services Building.

…Individual memberships for faculty, staff, emeriti and young alumni are now priced at $240 per year for access to one zone, $276 for two or $300 for all three…

The pricing adjustments became necessary, recreation officials explained in an email, "to maintain high quality services…”

"Even with these pricing adjustments UCLA Recreation takes great pride that faculty and staff fees for Recreation access are the lowest in the UC system," said Aberbuch.
