ABOUT US
Southampton Recreation Association (SRA) is a non-profit, membership-based recreation club offering a wide variety of year-round activities for families since 1950.
Celebrating Many Firsts
There have been many “firsts” since Southampton Recreation Association opened in 1950. When the main pool was completed, it was the first community pool in then-Chesterfield County. In the 1960s, we boasted of our open-air ice rink. It is now enclosed, but SRA remains the first, and ONLY, recreation association in greater Richmond to offer winter ice skating our own rink as part of membership.
Through the years, we continue to celebrate firsts: like a child’s first leap off the diving board. The first time the ball sails over the tennis net. The first wobbly Figure Eight cut into the perfect ice of the rink.
At SRA, our focus is making sure that we offer a safe and affordable place for all of our families to enjoy their own firsts.
Watching the progress of our 10 & under tennis team even enticed many of us parents to get out there and play!
There’s so many things about SRA to love – the swim team, figure skating, the tennis league, the snack bar, the community spirit, even the greenery – there’s really something for everyone.
I have played tennis recreationally for most of my life. The natural setting of Southampton, along with its exceptionally convenient location, make it a nostalgic recreational getaway on any day of the week.
