The Mount Vernon Rec Center is located at the intersection of Fort Hunt Road, Beacon Hill Road and Belle View Boulevard. The rec center sits at the foot of a steep hill (which is actually an important geological feature) on county land at the Mount Vernon District Park. Because of this hill, the rec center has two parking lots terraced into the hill at higher elevations. 

The rec center itself is a steel-framed warehouse style structure that is brightened by a wall of glass on the western face.

The Mount Vernon Rec Center has an olympic sized indoor pool, diving platforms, saunas and a hot tub.

Year round you can take advantage of the ice rink at Mount Vernon Rec Center. The weight room and work-out facilities have everything one needs. Group rates and seasonal passes are available. The rec center is most readily accessible to nearby communities such as Belle View, Bucknell Manor, Belle Haven, River Towers and Montebello.
