History of the KRA

The Kimberly Recreation Association (KRA) was formed in 1946 to serve the citizens of the Village of Kimberly with social and recreation Programs.

The KRA has continued to flourish over the years as the result of the tremendous efforts of their Board of Directors, their families, and an enourmous volunteer force. 

In addition providing the quality recreation programs and activities, the KRA has provided many facility improvements to Sunset Park and the Kimberly Community.
