Carolina Alumni Review - March/April 2007

GAA Discounts Grow
With ‘Farm’ Addition

UNC’s Faculty-Staff Recreation Association, also known as “The Farm,” is a member-only, 28-acre facility on the outskirts of Chapel Hill with tennis courts, swimming pools, woods, fields and playgrounds for faculty, staff and, as of 2005, alumni.

Beginning in January, GAA members can receive a 10 percent discount off the Farm’s $600 initiation fee for permanent membership.

Though the Farm might seem wild when day camps are in session, no animals or agricultural endeavors occupy the premises. The facility, which UNC trustees signed over to the FSRA in 1967, got its nickname because the property once housed an old farmhouse. The rural feel remains today, despite a new recreation center with a yoga studio, weight room, tennis shop and offices. The Farm installed new playground equipment in February and soon will install a Frisbee golf course and a volleyball court.

In addition to fitness opportunities, the Farm provides activities and day camps for the children of its 600 member families. “A lot of our staff were Farm kids, so it’s an institution that is self-perpetuating,” noted Steve Reznick ’ 73, professor of psychology and FSRA board chair. He’s excited about boosting alumni membership at the Farm. “We’re looking forward to what we see as a win-win situation.”
