The Alumni Athletic Complex and Burke Field 

Thanks to $1.3 million in improvements, Houghton's tennis courts, track, playing fields, and gym parking lot have a new look. In the fall of 1998 a major overhaul of the lower-level fields was initiated. A lighted 400-meter, eight-lane, all-weather track and a multi-purpose soccer/field hockey game field were added. The facility includes a 1,300 seat grandstand. In 1999, the all purpose field was named Burke Field in honor of former men's soccer coach Doug Burke and his wife, Esther. Also on the lower level is a new field hockey field and practice fields. Six new tennis courts and a large parking lot have been constructed on the area formerly occupied by Alumni Field. 

Houghton also has a downhill ski slope, cross country ski trails, an initiatives ropes course, and wooded areas for hiking and camping.
