Did you know that the DAC has five racquetball courts, a squash court, and three pickleball courts, all included with membership? Whether you’re a pro, wanting to try something new, or need to brush up, our courts are ready for you to play.
What makes our membership special:
- All courts are already yours: no extra fee, no separate booking system. If you’re a member, you can walk onto any of these courts today.
- No experience required: each sport is easy to pick up and forgiving for beginners, which makes them a good match for anyone looking to add variety without a steep learning curve.
- We provide the equipment: if you’re not ready to invest or just want to try it out, we have equipment for you to borrow.
Get to Know the Courts
Racquetball: Fast, Social, and Always Open
Racquetball is a total-body workout that also happens to be a good time. Members play throughout the week across our five open courts, and equipment and safety glasses are available to check out at the Welcome Desk. Not sure when the courts are busiest or quietest? Call the Welcome Desk at 541-484-4011 ext. 216 and ask what time works best for you to join a group, or bring a friend to practice first.
Squash: A Quiet Corner, a Big Workout
The squash court sits by the Spin Studio and is open during all Club hours, no reservation needed. If you’d like to get connected with other squash players at the DAC, email memberservices@downtownac.com and we’ll help make the introduction.
Pickleball: Eugene’s Favorite Weekend Drop-In
Pickleball remains one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, and you can drop in and play at the DAC Friday and Saturday, 4pm – 6:30pm and Sunday from 9am – 11am. All three nets are set up and in the Gymnasium, along with the paddles and balls.
Interested in Group Lessons?
If a beginner clinic or a standing group lesson for racquetball, squash, or pickleball sounds like something you’d show up for, email Brenda at bmontgomery@downtownac.com and tell her which sport you’re interested in. The more of you who raise a hand, the easier it is for us to put a real class on the schedule instead of guessing at what to offer.

The Downtown Athletic Club (DAC) has been Eugene’s locally owned, family-operated health club for over 40 years. Under one roof you’ll find a full Gymnasium, Cardio + Strength Floor, Group Exercise classes, a Lap Pool, warm-water therapy pool, Downtown Pilates Studio, The ZONE training program, Newberry Preschool, KidStop Daycare, and Zest Kitchen + Bar on our third floor. Locally owned means we get to build a club around the community we’ve built, and continue to build.
