About Us

Kanawha Recreation Association is a nonprofit member-owned community association located at 8100 Holmes Avenue in Richmond, Virginia. We have four pools: a six-lane 25-meter competition pool, diving well, family pool and wading pool. There are nine asphalt tennis courts, plus a variety of other amenities including basketball courts, playground, sandbox, tennis backboard, horseshoes, Ping-Pong, and a covered pavilion.

Kanawha has active competitive swim and dive teams that are members of the James River Aquatics Club. There are tennis teams for all ages and gender. We have a comprehensive swim instruction program and offer lifeguard certification each year. There is something for everyone at KRA and a great neighborhood spirit.
