Our vision is a UMaine community that is healthy, engaged and physically active. We nurture this vision by offering fun and challenging recreational programs supported by world-class customer service, a universally welcoming environment, and exceptional facilities.

Belonging: We support this endeavor by creating welcoming environment in our facilities, and offering a variety of programs and services to appeal to all members of our community.
Personal Development: We consider ourselves educators and provide opportunities for our participants to learn, grow and develop new skills through participation. We commit to the development of our staff by offering challenging employment, meaningful leadership experiences and purposeful on-going training.
Sustainability: We are excellent stewards of our resources. We work hard to responsibly manage our environmental, human and fiscal resources to support continuous, high level programming.

Wellness: We are committed to helping people make positive, lasting changes in their lives. We provide excellent programs, services and facilities that support the health and well being of our campus and community.
Customer Service: We care about our participants and work hard to offer world class, welcoming service. We strive to be the place people think about when they think of excellent customer service at the University of Maine.
Safey: Safety is our top priority. We offer high quality programs, services and facilities that take care of the physical and emotional safety of our participants.

Parking Information

Full members receive a free permit to park in the Rec Center Parking Area located just uphill of the Rec Center, indicated in bright blue on the map shown at right. This free “Rec Center Parking Pass” is a benefit of full membership. *Please note UMaine employee/student exception below.* This permit is valid only in the stated parking area (NOT in the red-signed Hilltop Lot), and is valid only for a 4-hour maximum visit.

Punch Pass holders, and other non-members who are enrolled in programs, have two options:
1) The Rec Center Parking Pass may be purchased at the Rec Center front desk for $10 per semester or $30 per year.
2) There are several options for UMaine visitors’ parking passes. Please visit the UMaine Parking Services website for more information.

Day Pass users have several options for UMaine visitors’ parking passes. Please visit the UMaine Parking Services website for more information.

* The Rec Center Parking Pass is offered in cooperation with UMaine Parking Services. UMaine employees and students are required to purchase UMaine Parking Passes through UMaine Parking Services. They can, however, still park in the Rec Center Lot as long as they limit their visit to under 4 hours.*

Community Connector Bus

MaineCard holders – both students and faculty/staff – ride for FREE. All others pay a small fee.
