Become a part of our “Summer Family”

The Holmes Run Acres Recreation Association (HRARA), often referred to as Holmes Run Pool, offers three sparkling pools in a lovely wooded, private park-like environment with picnic areas, grills, and recreational activities – right in your own back yard! It is a healthy and safe gathering place for the individuals and families of our community.

Our facility is a wonderful haven for summer activities: swimming, sunbathing, grilling, picnicking, aqua aerobics, ping pong, foosball, evening movie nights, and special events! Enroll your children in our energetic swim team, the Hurricanes, where they will get daily exercise and a have a positive team experience. Holmes Run Pool is a place to meet your neighbors and enjoy your friends and family. Our friendly pool is made up of a diverse community, which welcomes all.

Benefits of membership:

Holmes Run Acres Recreation Association offers the very best value for your money among the surrounding community pools. You will find us nestled at the bottom of a hill off Gallows Road, next to Woodburn Elementary, in a shaded wooded area that is sheltered from the noisy road traffic, yet still offering easy access to our parking area. Bordered by a large wooded area owned by the Fairfax Schools on two sides and by a quiet neighborhood on the remaining side, we are a respite from the intensity of the Washington Area.
