The IMA Recreation Association is committed to providing recreational programs and opportunities for children and families throughout Genesee County. Our programs support sports, recreation and education while fostering good citizenship and team efforts. IMA programs include the Greater Flint Area Baseball/Softball Commission, the Flint Junior Golf Association, IMA Brookwood Junior Golf and Badges for Baseball in partnership with Boys and Girls Club of Greater Flint.

Since 1998, the IMA Recreation Association has provided more than 37,000 children and adults in Genesee County with outstanding recreational opportunities and expert programming. The participation rate of children and adults has increased from 105 in 1998 to 7,112 in 2007.

The IMA Recreation Association owns and operates IMA Brookwood Golf Club and IMA Catering. This means when you do business with the IMA - golf, catering or park maintenance - you support our mission of community enhancement. This unique status provides access to those program essential facilities and offers strong support of our mission-focused business entity.

Our new name, the IMA Recreation Association, was adopted in 2008 through a merging of the IMA Children's Recreation Fund and the Industrial Mutual Association (founded in 1922). This consolidation has helped re-focus our efforts on the original IMA goal of bringing recreational opportunities to the local community.
