Usage of the Erny Outdoor Court is available for all valid Temple University students, faculty, staff, and alumni with valid recreation access. There are two regulation size, half basketball courts that are perfect for shooting around or playing a small pick-up game. Basketballs can be checked out at the front desk of the IBC Student Recreation Center.  The Erny Outdoor Courts are accessible during the IBC hours of operation and will close during inclement weather and the winter.
