Welcome!

The Atlee Recreation Association is located at 9411 Staple Lane in Mechanicsville VA, across from Cool Spring Elementary School on Atlee Station Rd. With a current membership of over 350 families, ARA offers seasonal swimming, covered picnic tables, a roomy pavilion with charcoal grills, an extra large pool deck and a sand pit for volleyball. In addition, we have a clubhouse with snack bar, meeting room, and restroom/shower facilities. The clubhouse is available to rent for private functions as well. Atlee Rec is  also home to the Atlee Alligators swim team, who compete in the Greater Richmond Aquatic League.

New Membership Categories

ARA has new membership categories to help us more flexibly meet the needs of the community.

Retiree Memberships cover one voting member at one-half the cost of regular membership. A change from Regular Membership to Retiree Membership is free.

Special Limited Memberships cover nonvoting memberships with negotiable group rates that do not renew automatically. The intent is to take advantage of opportunities when local developments or other groups ask for temporary placements for residents or those in their groups.

The existing Single Membership category that allowed one voting member now includes one other (non-voting) member of the household, all for one-half the cost of regular membership. Great for empty-nesters!

Poolside Surfing!

Bring the kids and your laptop to the pool. ARA is now a Wi-Fi hotspot! Enjoy free wireless internet access while working on your tan. The boss will never know!
