2010 Pool Season ending soon – Mon, Sept 6
Pool hours are currently 11am to 9pm, except on Sundays when it opens at 12pm. The last day to swim at the pool is Labor Day, the day before Fairfax County Schools start back up. Enjoy these last few days of summer at the pool.
Fall Tennis!
A new 8-week Tennis Program will be offered in September and October for adults and juniors at the WRA courts. Visit the Tennis Page for offerings, dates, and sign-up information.
Keep the WRA Beautiful, RECYCLE!
Please be aware that blue recycling bins have been placed in and around the pool, tennis courts, basketball courts and playground to collect cans, bottles, plastics, and paper.
You can also recycle your Capri-Sun drink pouches and chip bags in the green and yellow containers near the eating area in the pool.
It just takes a second to recycle these items and it can make a big impact on our global legacy. Thank you for your support!
July 4 Crumplar Pool Naming and Plaque Unveiling
Colonel John R. Crumplar, USAF, Retired, was a resident of Waynewood for over 40 years, from the mid-1960s to 2008. In 1970, as a WRA Director, Colonel Crumplar led the effort to build the lap pool, that opened on Memorial Day weekend, 1971. Due to Colonel Crumplar’s vision, leadership and tireless effort, thousands of WRA members have enjoyed a beautiful lap pool to this day.
To recognize Colonel Crumplar’s long and great service to our neighborhood and recreation association, the WRA Board of Directors named the lap pool in his honor and commissioned a plaque. The naming ceremony and plaque unveiling will be on July 4, 2010, during the opening ceremony of the WRA Independence Day celebration, with Colonel Crumplar present. A detailed history of the Crumplar pool project will be added to the WRA web site.

Consolidation of Afternoon Jr Tennis Camps
After discussions with Mount Vernon Athletic Club, there will now be 2 session times for ages 8-14, instead of 3. The first is from 11-12 and the second is 12:30-1:30pm. There was low demand for the 3rd session and this will give the instructors a break for lunch. See the Tennis Camps page and calendar for more specifics.
