The sports centre at [PARA]Woodland House by the main University buildings houses a gym [PARA]and facilities for many indoor sports (including a martial arts dojo).[PARA]The Victoria Rooms are also used for aerobics, dance and [PARA]fencing. Under the Union Building is a swimming pool and further[PARA]out, by the halls of residence at Stoke Bishop, and at Coombe [PARA]Dingle, there are 38 acres of playing fields, a floodlit artificial [PARA]grass pitch and 16 tennis courts. There are further sports [PARA]provisions at the halls including squash and tennis courts. Sailors[PARA]swing their booms down at the Baltic Wharf Marina near the city [PARA]centre and rowers pull their oars at the boathouses on the Avon.[HDNG]SPORTING CLUBS:[EHDNG][PARA]Boat; Clay Pigeon Shooting; Exploring; Gliding; Hang Gliding; Jiu [PARA]Jitsu; Korfball; Sky Diving; Snooker; Surfing; Tae Kwan Do; [PARA]Volleyball; Ultimate Frisbee; Waterskiing; Windsurfing.[HDNG]ATTRACTIONS:[EHDNG][PARA]In Bristol, rugby and football keep the fans flapping.
