Hammock Rentals

The Associated Students office offers free hammock rentals for students daily. To check out a hammock, fill out this form and head to the Associated Students office located in room 304 of the Otter Student Union and pick up your hammock. 

We currently have four hammock structures around campus; the locations are Divarty Quad, Manzanita Plaza grass area, North Quad Plaza grass area, and Sanderling Plaza grass area. These are available for students to use the rentable hammocks on, though they can also be utilized off campus as well.
