Clark Athletic Center Gymnasium
  
Clark Athletic Center Gymnasium is the home court of the men’s and women’s basketball and women’s volleyball programs. The facility features three full-sized basketball courts, two scoreboards and a state of the art sound system. The facility is named after F. Ambrose Clarke in honor of his generosity to the College. With a built-in seating capacity of 2,500, Clark Athletic Center fosters a big-game atmosphere hard to match in Division III.  Clark Athletic Center has appeared on television in a number of different uses. Basketball games have been televised in the arena on Fios1, MSG and News12 Long Island.

Clark Athletic Center Swimming Pool

Clark Athletic Center Swimming Pool is home to the SUNY Old Westbury men’s and women’s swimming teams and serves as a recreational space for the campus community.  

 

The swimming pool consists of a six-lane, 25-yard pool with starting blocks. The minimum depth is 3.5 feet and the maximum depth is 13.5 feet. The facility seats its spectators on the pool deck in bleachers overlooking the pool area and holds approximately 150 fans. There are men’s and women’s locker rooms available to be used by visiting teams and patrons. All safety equipment is clearly defined and positioned throughout the facility. Swimming is allowed only during scheduled times, and only when a lifeguard is on duty.

During the school year, the pool is open to current Old Westbury students, faculty and staff with a valid Old Westbury ID card. Priority is given to Old Westbury swimming practices and meets.

Clark Athletic Center Tennis Courts
The Clark Athletic Center Tennis Courts are adjacent to the Gymnasium. The facility has two fenced-in sections, each holding three hard courts.  The six courts have recently been resurfaced and painted.  There are locker rooms and restrooms located inside Clark Athletic Center.  The most exciting feature of the facility is the playing surface, which is the same surface that the U.S. Open is played on.  

No lights are on the courts so all activity is played during the morning or afternoon hours. The hours of operation are during normal daylight hours.
 

Jackie Robinson Athletic Complex - Baseball Field

The Jackie Robinson Athletic Complex - Baseball Field is home to the SUNY Old Westbury baseball team. The field features natural grass with dirt base paths.

 

The Panthers call the third base dugout home while the visitors are in the first base dugout.  Jackie Robinson Athletic Complex is a good pitcher’s park, but it also favors gap hitters, who can find plenty of room in the spacious outfield (dimensions: 330 feet down both foul lines, and 410 feet to center field).  Beyond the third base dugout lies two artificial turf batting cages just behind the bullpen. The pitchers are provided a bullpen area beyond each foul line for the Panthers and the visiting teams.  The aluminum bleachers seat approximately 500 fans.  The bleachers are placed to supply the best view of the field from the first and third base sides, and right behind home plate. All bleacher seats have a perfect view of the large scoreboard located just beyond the right-field wall.  The facility also features an enclosed press box located behind the home plate bleachers, from which the scoreboard and the public address system are operated.  

The lighted facility allows for night games, which only adds to the atmosphere and provides a definite home-field advantage for the Panthers’ baseball squad.

Handicapped accessible ramps lead to the bleachers located down the first-base line. Also, along the handicapped accessible ramps is a structure that houses public restrooms.
