Elting Fitness Center
Located on the lower level of Binder, the fitness center welcomes members of the Hartwick community as well as varsity athletes. The Elting Fitness Center was remodeled in the summer of 2004, and the new equipment includes: Cybex Eagle 13-Station Selectorized weight training circuit; two Precor treadmills; three Precor elliptical fitness cross-trainers; three Precor bicycles; two Cybex arc trainers and one Schwinn Air Dyne bicycle. The free weight section in the fitness center features new Cybex strength equipment, squat racks and weight benches.
Moyer Pool
The Moyer Pool is an eight-lane, 25-yard competitive/recreational facility. It serves as home for Hartwick's men's and women's swimming & diving teams, and its Division I women's water polo team. The aquatic arena seats 500 spectators and is equipped with a Colorado timing system and flo-through racing lanes. There are two one-meter, and two three-meter diving boards. The eastern wall of the facility is constructed of glass from floor to ceiling, providing an impressive view of the Susquehanna River Valley and the Hartwick Campus.
Elmore Field
With permanent seating for 2,000, Elmore has been home to Hartwick's soccer program since 1956. Its playing surface is considered among the best in the nation-which is one reason why it has been the site of many NCAA playoff and international matches.
Elmore also features an eight-lane, 400-meter Balsam International synthetic track. The facility features separate vault and jump runways; a high-jump apron; and two concrete throwing rings for shot put, discus, and hammer throw.
All-Weather Field at Wright Stadium
This is the home to our football, field hockey, and men's and women's lacrosse teams. With new synthetic turf, the lighted field hosts night practices and competition. A number of teams use the field for off-season training, and intramural teams play here. There's seating for 1,200, and the adjoining hillside accommodates spill-over crowds.
Strawberry Field & More
Strawberry and Table Rock Fields are natural grass fields used by varsity, intramural, and club teams. For tennis players: a six-court tennis facility where it might be a bit hard to keep your eye on the ball; the courts overlook Elmore Field and the Susquehanna Valley. And for those who prefer staying at home: several residence halls offer aerobic and weight-training equipment.
Hunter's Rein Stables
Hartwick hosts its home competitions at Hunter's Rein, the home of the Hartwick College equestrian stables in Otego, New York. Directions to Hunter's Rein from Hartwick's main campus are as follows:
