Kirkendall Recreation Association
Building community and friendships
History
Kirkendall Recreation is a non-competitive, co-educational league run by volunteers, for children in Junior Kindergarten to Grade 5. Kirkendall Recreation has been going on for over 30 years. We offer an inclusive and safe space for all kids and families. For many children, this league is their introduction to team sports. For families, it's an opportunity to come together in the spring and celebrate the coming of summer. Games are played at Highland Gardens (Reservoir) at the top of Mountain Avenue. Our season is short and finishes the last week of school in June.
