Schwartz Athletic Center is home to our men's and women's basketball, women's volleyball, men's and women's swimming, and men's and women's indoor track teams. It also houses Widener's athletic administration and coaching staff in a third-floor suite. Schwartz Center offers access to members of the Widener community to a gymnasium, weight room, multi-purpose field house with a new resurfaced floor, and a championship-size 12-lane 25-yard by 6-lane 25-meter swimming pool with eight lanes of yards competition.

Leslie C. Quick Jr. Stadium is home to our football, men's and women's soccer, men's lacrosse, and men's and women's outdoor track & field teams. Quick Stadium, which opened in 1994 and seats over 4,000 spectators, also sports a turf field and lights. Encircling the turf is the George A. Hansell Track, an eight-lane, synthetic-surfaced track which has served as home for multiple conference championship meets. In October 2017, the playing surface at Quick Stadium was dedicated as Elizabeth J. Hirschmann Field.
Edith R. Dixon Field is home to our field hockey and women's lacrosse squads. Equipped with artificial turf, lights, and a new scoreboard, the field is easily accessible for fans and students. Opened in 2005, the field also serves as home for our intramural teams. The field is located behind Schwartz Center on the opposite side of the creek.
The baseball team plays its home games at an on-campus field that opened in 2005 adjacent to Schwartz Center. The facility sports dugouts, bleachers, a scoreboard, a press box, two batting cages, four pitchers mounds, and the same grass used by the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
The softball team plays its home games on a beautiful field which opened in 2006, just off Bullens Lane. The facility features dugouts and a scoreboard, as well as an ample seating area for spectators.
The Pride Recreation Center, which opened in April 2006, resonates with Widener's school spirit and pride, providing an inviting and motivating atmosphere that promotes better health. The state-of-the-art 20,000 square-foot facility is located adjacent to Schwartz Center. The center also houses our athletic trainers and provides student-athletes the opportunity to rehabilitate and condition in one of the area's finest collegiate facilities.
