Junker Center
Private
The Junker Center is Penn State Behrend's athletics and recreation building in Erie (gymnasium, eight-lane pool, track and weight room) that serves as a venue for the college's Summer Youth Sports Camps for ages 4-17. Behrend also runs College for Kids, a six-week enrichment program for ages 6-14 on the same campus. The building itself is a facility, not a standalone camp.

Nice place for the students to go to practice and hold sporting events. Also has a gym and a pool. Very nice WE ARE PENN STATE
Every Oct my daughter, a student at Parks Tae Kwon Do competes in the Great Lakes Open tournament and performs on the demo team. We have also been here for graduations and other events. The Junker center is a great place for events handicap friendly clean and inviting.
First time coming to this facility. I had no idea where to find the gym so as soon as I was on campus I had to google the gym name. There’s parking on site with an overflow lot. The space was clean and large. Unfortunately, the bathrooms do not contain changing tables so traveling with littles made it a little difficult to find a place to do a diaper change. Very nice building!
Nice indoor track, gym, and pool. Lots of treadmills, ellipticals, and other equipment. Dumbbells from 2.5s up into the 100s, a bunch of benches and barbells with plenty of plates, cable machines, etc. The weight room is lacking workout friendly bikes. The old ones were nicer. That's a big downside for me. Other than that the weight room has everything you could want. Pretty crowded at times, and in need of another squat rack.
