Sports and Recreation

Unlike most urban European university campuses, UPV has a palmtree lined campus of hundreds of acres. With so much land and open space, the sports and athletic facilities of Universidad Politécnica de Valéncia are among the finest in all of Spain. There are nine major sport areas on campus featuring new and modern facilities that promote a full range of sports at different levels. Summer Discovery students will share these facilities with university students. Hours/days of access will vary.
