Welcome to American Recreation Association
Nestled in the sleepy Makindye division of Kampala, set in lovely grounds with beautiful gardens, the American Recreation Association (ARA) is a popular family-orientated club that lives up to its tagline: “Your home away from home ”. A calm haven in which to seek sanctuary from the maelstrom that is sometimes Kampala, the ARA is like a well-known setti
ng, complete with familiar faces and welcoming smiles. The following is a summary of what the club has to offer and what being a member of the American Recreation Association entitles you to:
The outdoor sports facilities include; two floodlit clay tennis courts, a fenced -off wading pool (to ensure the well being of the inexperienced young swimmer), a 25-metre swimming pool, volley and basketball courts, horseshoe pits, a small children’s playground which includes climbing frames and a trampoline. Indoor sports activities include 2 squash courts, pool table, darts and a fully equipped multi-gym. Accommodation comprises 12 rooms, single and double occupancy, available on a short or long-term basis. Rental is inclusive of a Continental breakfast and full access to the club’s facilities. For those with business needs, a dedicated business centre offers broadband connectivity as well as a wireless (WI-FI) hotspot service. This facility is supplemented by conference facilities that can easily cater for organizational meetings (e.g. small workshops), offering a comfortable setting. The ARA has acquired an enviable reputation for the provision of indoor and outdoor catering services – serving up to 500 customers with a wide range of menus, as well as providing the associated needs of tents, tables, chairs, glasses and serving staff. One of our specialist areas is cocktail parties, where we endeavor to work with clients to provide for all their needs. The ARA is indeed “Your home away from home” and we look forward to welcoming you.
