The Sports Center



Welcome back!
A lot people have trouble finding cheap activities to do with a group of friends. My friends and I have found a few places in Topeka that are both fun and cheap. In today’s blog post I’m going to be talking about is the sport center here in Topeka. My friends and I have gone here twice and it’s a lot fun. The sports center is located right off Wanamaker and it’s a great place to go as a group and it’s not too expensive. The sports center offers lots of fun activities for groups to do at a good price. My friends and I tried “goony golf,” which includes various obstacles like a giant pink kangaroo, an igloo, and an ichabod. They offer 18 holes of “goony golf”  for only seven dollars and it was a lot of fun.


They also offer 36 holes of normal putter golf and a golf driving range. If you are more into sports, they also have nine baseball batting cages that you can use. The second time my friends and I went, we tried the go-kart course. It was again only seven dollars for a five minute course. That doesn’t sound like very long, but it’s only a dollar for every minute that you go over. They offer both single passenger carts and two passenger carts. The sports center also has an arcade that is available for use. They also offer a snack bar if you want to eat while you are there. My friends and I had a lot of fun racing each other on this course. Overall, the sports center is a great place to go as group that’s not too expensive. I hope you all check out this place out!

Thanks for visiting!

Introduction

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog, A College Student's Guide to Topeka! My name is Melissa King and I'm currently a college student attending Washburn University in Topeka, KS. Throughout this semester I am going to be trying to find fun and exciting things to do in Topeka on a college student's budget. I decided to choose this topic because I'm new to Topeka and I want explore where I will be attending school for the next four years. I also chose this topic because many college students don't take advantage of what their college town has to offer and I hope this gives them some inspiration. Each post will be me talking about a free or cheap activity that I have found done in Topeka. Through this blog I hope to encourage you to explore Topeka and learn more about the Kansas capital! See you in Topeka!

Washburn Student Recreation and Wellness Center

Welcome back! The first place I will be talking about is the Student Recreation and Wellness Center here at Washburn University. The SRWC is free for Washburn students and is an awesome place for those looking to find a place to have fun while also taking care of yourself. On the first floor of the SRWC there is a three-court gym where students can play basketball, volleyball, badminton and other sports. Also on the first floor there is the infamous 25 foot rock wall where more adventurous students can challenge themselves. I haven't gotten the courage to do this yet, but my friends and I may in the future. The second floor is home to fitness loft and walking track. The fitness loft contains lots of fitness equipment ranging from treadmills and stair masters for beginners to weight sets for more hardcore exercisers. The walking track outlines the first floor, and overlooks Yager stadium where you can often watch various sporting events taking place. The SWRC also has many opp...
