Today, the Red Barn Gym houses many of Temple Ambler’s indoor recreational facilities, including the gymnasium, fitness room and locker areas.

In addition to these facilities, the Ambler Campus has three outdoor tennis courts, four outdoor basketball courts, a sand volleyball court and a multipurpose grass playing field. The outdoor pool at Temple Ambler is additionally available for seasonal use.
