About St. John's University - Taffner Field House

Welcome to St. John’s University’s Taffner Field House, a versatile campus recreation facility located on the Queens campus at 8000 Utopia Parkway, Queens, NY 11439. This on-campus venue supports intramural basketball and volleyball, with capacities scalable for open-floor play, side-specific court use, and special campus events. While Taffner Field House is undergoing renovation to become a full Campus Recreation Center, it remains a central hub for student life, intramurals, and campus activities. A separate Basketball Practice Facility is slated to open by Spring 2027, followed by the Campus Recreation Center in Fall 2028, expanding on-site recreation offerings for the St. John’s community.

Whether you’re planning to attend an intramural game, a campus expo, or a student-focused event at Taffner Field House, we’ve got you covered with practical details. Parking is available on campus, though current construction limits on-site gameday spaces. Public safety directs parking toward Gates 1, 2, and 3 and nearby garages. The venue is accessible via MTA bus routes such as Q46, Q30, and Q31, with Express Bus options for longer commutes. For visitors staying nearby, we’ve highlighted nearby hotels and trusted dining options, including affiliate recommendations for convenience and reliability.
