The Brooks School Athletic Complex includes two expansive facilities: an athletic center that gives athletes the chance to train at the highest levels, and the nearby Danforth Gymnasium, a state-of-the-art rowing and squash center.     

Our 50,474 square-foot athletic center boasts three regulation-length basketball courts, a wrestling center, locker rooms, meeting spaces, and an athletic training room. There is also a fully-equipped fitness room that looks out over the basketball courts, offering free weights, strength machines, treadmills, elliptical trainers, stationary bikes, ergs and flat-screen televisions above the cardio machines. Connected to the Athletic Center is a hockey rink that doubles as an indoor soccer arena in the spring.

A dual-purpose facility, the Danforth is home to our squash and crew teams. Featuring ten international-size squash courts, the gym frequently hosts, events from national college squash tournaments to local charity matches. The facility's spacious spectator gallery gives spectators, parents, and friends plenty of room to view matches and cheer on our top-ranked teams.

The Danforth Gymnasium also houses Brooks' rowing center for in-season and out-of-season training. Multiple ergs and two eight-person, still-water rowing tanks give crew the opportunity to practice indoors when cold or inclement weather prevents the use of our campus' Lake Cochichewick.

Brooks' vast 270-acre campus includes 10 beautiful grass playing fields, as well as a state-of-the-art synthetic turf field dedicated in 2015. The well-maintained fields stand in close proximity, offering teams — field hockey, football and soccer in the fall; baseball, lacrosse and softball in the spring — the chance to easily watch and support each other. Situated on the shores of 2-mile long Lake Cochichewick, Brooks is fortunate to offer two crew boathouses.

Tennis teams and summer camps enjoy our eight outdoor hard-surfaced courts. Cross-country teams and recreational joggers make great use of a 3.1-mile course that winds through our campus as well.
