RA Centre
The RA (Recreation Association) Centre is a recreation and activity centre in Ottawa, Canada.
Having been in business for over 60 years, and with a membership that exceeds 25,000, the RA Centre is one of the largest such facilities in Canada.
The Centre is governed by a volunteer board, and run by a combination of paid staff and volunteers. Over fifty programs are offered, including swimming and tennis, the latter of which runs year round under inflatable domes. Also available are a restaurant and conference rooms which can be booked for meetings or weddings.[1]
The Centre is located on Riverside Drive near the corner of Bank Street, next to Billings Bridge Plaza. It is built on the site of the brickyards of the Ottawa Brick and Terra Cotta Co. Ltd, which was bought by the Federal government in 1954 and closed in 1958. [2]
