    I've recently started going to Bellefield to swim laps, and it's exactly what I expected: A…read moreno-frills campus rec center. The pool consists of four lanes, and if it's busy, you can share a lane with someone--to be courteous, I always stand at the end and ask permission to do so to avoid surprising them in the middle of the lane. The pool ranges from 3.5'-4' in depth, so diving is prohibited, and jumping in isn't advisable. The pool and the room that it's located in are a good temperature--warm enough to be comfortable, but cool enough to feel refreshed while swimming laps. For safety's sake, there is always at least one student lifeguard stationed at the side of the pool. The locker rooms are reasonably clean and well-kept, and include all of the amenities that you'd want, including showers, bathrooms, hairdryers, etc. (Full disclosure: I don't shower there since I live two blocks away.) You can rent a locker for the semester if you wish, but I always use the transient lockers reserved for day use only, which are quite convenient. Compared to the pool room, the locker room is quite a bit cooler, so be sure to towel off as much as possible after your swim! The locker rooms are segregated by sex, and are for use by both pool and fitness center users. I haven't used the exercise room yet, but it's on the smaller side, consisting of only one medium-sized room. It contains your typical basic cardio equipment (treadmills, ellipticals, erg, etc.), as well as a few free weights. At the times that I visit (after work, around 5:30), there are usually at least a few people using it, but there's usually enough room for a few more people to work out. The same is true for the pool. In addition to the pool and exercise, there's a gym above the pool for intramurals, which provides some interesting rhythmic background noise when people are playing basketball. The fitness facilities at Bellefield are for use by Pitt employees only (students, faculty, and staff), so be sure to stop by the security guard's window to the left with your ID when you enter to be scanned in. Since the location and the price (free) are right, I'll be back soon when I don't feel like cycling and want to get my workout on! 3.5 stars.

    The fitness center is convenient whenever I can not make it all the way to my other gyms. The hours…read moreare good and the facilities are spacious. With the rising obesity epidemic, it is rewarding to know that many are attempting to lead healthier lives. The gym could use some improvements, mainly flooring and updating the locker rooms, but it is still better than sitting down on the couch.

    Schenley Oval can be considered a center for sports and recreation for Oakland and Squirrel Hill…read more It features a 1 km-long oval, a 400m track, a couple of soccer fields, and tennis courts (free!). In a weekday evening or on weekend, expect to see many people enjoying the oval: jogging, playing soccer, frisbee, and tennis. The oval has two water fountains, and surprisingly one keeps running through the winter. There are restrooms in a small brick building and usually portable restrooms nearby. Schenley drive goes near the oval, providing ample space for free parking. Although this is a friendly and safe area, be careful leaving items there: my book was stolen when I left it for five minutes on Sunday night.

    By Ed Skirtich…read more Freedom to dream, sunbath, read and play frisbee at the Schenley Park Overlook plus walk, jog, sprint, and play tennis and football at the Oval and inner track happen on a sunny day. On the benches outside the inner track and outside the oval, friends reunite with each other. Also, while walking along the oval mom and dad's hold their child's hand while walking, young adult joggers slowly trot, mildly jog, jog, and sprint. In Bob O' Connor's Tennis Courts, young adults toss the tennis ball back and forth. They play tennis quietly and patiently with each other. Regardless of your disability, race, gender, and age and size, no one bothers you when you do your activity at Schenley Park. Children's imaginations can flourish at Schenley Park. At the Overloook, a young boy flies his kite while other youth catch frisbee. Also, a young girl kicks a soccer ball with family. Runners are fun to watch because they sweat, pant, or just slowly jog, trot, and and walk. Small tall, skinny, and fat, the runners get their job done. Tennis players don't care what their score is, they just like to have fun and relax. Another interesting thing was a hip drum beats could be heard while going around the oval. Finally at the Overlook, you can read, write, sunbath, or just admire the Downtown Pittsburgh skyline.
