Cottontail Swim and Racquet Club is a member-owned pool and tennis court facility serving communities in and around West Springfield and Burke. Surrounded by Fairfax County parkland and the homes of Orange Hunt Estates, the pool is nestled on 3 wooded acres. Families from the Sangster, Orange Hunt, Cherry Run, and Hunt Valley school districts can be found at Cottontail.
There are lots of fantastic community pools but I only belong to one. Last night we spent some time at a “Raft Night” and I started thinking how nice we have it at Cottontail.
Thanks to a handful of people on the social commity, we enjoy many events not only during the pool season but also throughout the year. Some events include:
- Annual Pig Roast: This years roast had live music!
- Memorial Day Picnic
- Thursday Night Raft Parties: last night’s had a food truck from Austin Grill in Springfield
- TGIF’s
- Cottontailgate: On any given weekend, at the pool parking lot we tailgate and watch either College or Pro Football
- Annual Chili CookOff: Usually held Mid-October
- Halloween Trunk or Treat: Held at the pool parking which gives the kids an opportunity to show off their costumes and reap in more candy in a safe environment. Awards for the Best Jack O’ Lantern and Costume
- Adult only steak dinners
- Water Shooter Night
- Open Grill Nights
My family and I enjoy Cottontail pool and we have been and will be, members for years. Discover our pool or one near your home, it’s a wonderful opportunity for friendship and memories.
