Our Story
Rountree Recreation began as a small dream fueled by a passion for swimming and outdoor fun. Over the years, we’ve expanded into a 30-acre facility, complete with indoor and outdoor pools, turf fields, and wooded trails. What started with a few swim lessons has turned into a bustling community hub where children, adults, and families come together to sharpen their skills, celebrate milestones, and form lasting friendships.
