The History of the Goochland Recreational Center
Throughout history, and among a small group of people in Goochland County, The Goochland Recreational Center has supported, facilitated, and stabilized the recreational needs of the community since 1961. This privately owned and operated organization has strategically worked with other organizations to meet the needs of its community, establishing lasting relationships. This hidden jewel is known as a stellar location off route 522.
On April 5, 1961, a group of interested citizens of Goochland County met at Central Elementary School for the purpose of establishing recreational facilities for wholesome recreation for all citizens in Goochland County. In the height of the Civil Rights movement, these visionaries worked together to establish a place where all were welcomed, formulate an organization that offered help to all residents, black and white, young, or old. The mission was a powerful foundation that lifted the least for the betterment of us all.
