Welcome to Campus Recreation

Attention Health and Recreation Center Members!

As Illinois continues to relax restrictions, the Foglia Foundation Health and Recreation Center (a partnership between Harper College, Northwest Community Healthcare and Palatine Park District) has begun a phased reopening including:

• NCH reopened its Outpatient Care Center this past November.
• Indoor pool opened to Palatine Park District swim team for team practices in early February.
• Limited lap swimming is now available (reservations required) for Palatine Park District indoor pool pass holders, current Health and Recreation Center members, students currently attending the Spring 2021 teram, and Harper students that attended Harper College in 2020. Learn more.

This phased, limited opening will provide us time to monitor the effectiveness of our procedures and make necessary adjustments. Thank you for your patience and for understanding that we may need to adapt our plans as the situation evolves to help protect the community’s health and safety. Learn more about Harper’s COVID-19 response on our advisory page.
