The Texas Volleyball team plays all of its home matches at the Gregory Gym, which happens to be one of the finest collegiate volleyball facilities in the country. The site, better known as the home of the Longhorns, reopened in 1998 after an eight-year layoff. Locker rooms, offices, meeting rooms and a players' lounge are available for jocks throughout the year. Athletes make use of two fully-equipped weight rooms, an eight-lane pool, 10 racquetball courts, an exercise lounge and a three-lane track, four full-length basketball and volleyball courts.

 Lots to do |
811 E 41st St Austin, TX 78751 United States +1 512 453 7765 http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/par... |
This closely supervised kid's center is perfect for allowing children to open that urge to just go crazy. The center is full of activities perfect for the little ones. Arts, crafts, games and general kid fun are all part of the curriculum. Twice a week when the weather is appropriate, the kids walk down to Shipe, a public pool, for a quick dip to cool off. So pack up the kids with a swimsuit and let them romp and stomp at the Hancock Recreation Center. Review © 2007, Wcities |
