Friends of Villanova Program

The Friends of Villanova program is offered by Villanova University to our neighbors in Radnor Township and select neighborhoods in Lower Merion Township that are contiguous to our main campus. For an annual fee of $60, our neighbors can access University facilities such as the Fitness Center at the Davis Center and the Pavilion Pool, on a limited recreational basis. 

All updates, including hours of operation and facility availability, will be communicated via email, on our website, and Facebook page. 

Please contact Hally Ammons at (610) 519-7455 with questions.
